 Great, do you have anymore information about the Transportation?

 Do you have any information about the history of Lafayette? 
 Lafayette's incorporation was approved by the state legislature in 1836. Another interesting fact is that the city has always had a strong Louisiana Creole influence due to the mixes raced population who became landowners and businesspeople.
