The city was established in 1824 on the Vermilion River. The first settlers who arrived in 1762, were Acadians from Nova Scotia. Up to the mid 20th century, the city was primarily a Cajun town, and the older culture is evident in the prevalence of French and the local Cajun dialect. In the 1940s oil was discovered in the area. Since then, the Oil and Natural Gas industries dominated the economy.
Lafayette has a great tourism industry, attracted by the wonderful Cajun food of this region, a thriving arts community that includes visual arts, theatres, and music. Fishing, Golfing biking, and hiking are also part of the city’s attractions. Lafayette is home to the largest University of Louisiana campus in the state.
