Evangeline Board Celebrates 200 Years In Cajun Land

By Hugh A. Mulligan. Evangeline is 200 years old this year as Cajuns in southwest Louisiana observe the bicentennial on the banks of Bayou Teche. The Acadians endured exile from Nova Scotia starting in 1755, ending up along Bayou Teche where Louisiana’s oil, sugar farms, and cities like Lafayette, Franklin and New Iberia anchor a lasting home for descendants.
