Spanish Town is a historic district around Spanish Town Road in Baton Rouge, the capital city of Louisiana.  Spanish Town was commissioned in 1805 when Baton Rouge was under the control of the Spanish government...and is believed to be the oldest neighborhood in Baton Rouge.  It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.  The community and surrounding subdivisions serve as"living history" by having an assembly of surviving structures ranging in date from 1823 to 1975.  The oldest structure is the Pino House (built 1823).  This diverse community in the heart of downtown Baton Rouge near the State Legislature and LSU is home to artists, writers, musicians, actors, students, teachers, physians, politicians, and attorneys. As part of its heritage, Spanish Town hosts one of the more famous Mardi Gras parades in Baton Rouge.
