Donaldsonville, LA Real Estate

The city of Donaldsonville is the parish seat of Ascension Parish in the US state of Louisiana, and is located on the west bank of the Mississippi River. The population was 7,605 at the 2000 census.

Donaldsonville is named after a landownder William Donaldson. In 1806 he commissioned architect and planner Barthelemy Lafon to plan a new town, near New Orleans. This served briefly as the Louisiana capital (1830 - 1831) after New Orleans was deemed "too noisy". Donaldsonville is a small town and has many historic sites. The bricks that were used for the former statehouse of Louisiana are now blocking the waters of Bayou Lafourche. Donaldsonville has a museum ( River Road African American Museum ), parks, shopping centers, civil war grounds, etc.

The official journal of the city is the Donaldsonville Chief, which has been published since 1871. It is available online at http://www.ascensioncitizen.com/chief/.

As would be expected of a Mississippi River town above New Orleans, Donaldsonville has made significant contributions to early jazz history. Donaldsonville was the childhood home of jazz great "King" Joe Oliver and the home of bandleader Claiborne Williams.
