What's a Red Stick? Have you ever wondered about that moniker?
RED STICK is the English translation of the French words ... Rouge Baton.
And there you have it ... a nickname for the city called Baton Rouge.
The city was named back in 1699 when French explorers saw a red cypress tree marking the boundary between two tribal hunting grounds. The tree was called "le baton rouge."
While I expect that most people living around this area will be familiar with this little bit of history, I thought it could be fun to explain how our Keller Williams Realty office came by our franchise name. Our Zachary, LA, office is Keller Williams Realty Red Stick Plus.
Red Stick is a prevalent title for all types of ventures in the city:
- Red Stick Sports shop
- Red Stick Refinishing
- Red Stick Farmers' Market
- Red Stick Animation Festival
- Red Stick Fly Fishers
