DESTINATION

Jennings

In 1901 Louisiana's first oil well came in 5 miles northeast of Jennings, touching off a rush of oil developers to the area. The Louisiana Oil and Gas Park on SR 26 at I-10 houses an information center, live alligator displays and a replica of the state's first oil derrick. Oil and rice are still the mainstays of Jennings' economy. Many wells, streams and canals supply the water needed to grow the rice, and airplanes are often used to plant the crops.
