With a population of over 53,000 and 700 square miles of land, St. Mary Parish, the Cajun Coast of Louisiana, is located in the Bayou Teche region of Cajun Country midway between New Orleans and Lafayette via Hwy. 90. Its five municipalities include Morgan City, Franklin, Berwick, Baldwin, Patterson and the Sovereign Nation of the Chitimacha.
