Welcome to the City of Plaquemine -
 "The City of Hospitality"

Plaquemine, located in Iberville Parish, Louisiana, is a short drive from Louisiana's State Capitol City - Baton Rouge.  City of Plaquemine is a progressive city that also happens to be an architectural lover's dream, with its tremendous variety of architectural styles and antebellum gems.

City of Plaquemine is bordered by the famous Mississippi River, pre-historic Bayou Plaquemine and minutes away from the Atchafalaya Basin National Wildlife Refuge.  Plaquemine is situated along Louisiana Highway One and is part of the Louisiana Scenic By-Ways and Great River Road Commission. A charming and quaint bedroom community showcasing a variety of architectural  features. Baton Rouge is only a 10 minute drive - Lafayette lies 45 miles to the west - New Orleans is 80 miles east of Plaquemine.

The community is older than the United States, and National Geographic has documented Indian settlements in Plaquemine from well over 1,000 years ago. In fact, peaceful Bayou Plaquemine got its name from the Illonis Indian tribe word "Piakemine," which means persimmon, because of the abundance of persimmon trees growing along the bayou.

We hope you explore the site - and come to visit!
