New Iberia, Parish seat in Acadiana region, Louisiana, United States.
New Iberia stands along Bayou Teche with extensive sugar cane fields, salt domes, and hot pepper production facilities surrounding the central district.
Spanish colonists led by Francisco Bouligny established Nueva Iberia in 1779, bringing 500 settlers to create a new settlement along Bayou Teche.
The downtown district contains structures from multiple architectural periods, reflecting Native American, Spanish, French, African American, and Creole influences.
The Shadows-on-the-Teche plantation museum, Bayou Teche Museum, and Conrad Rice Mill offer guided tours throughout the week for visitors.
The Conrad Rice Mill maintains operations as the oldest rice processing facility in the United States, dating back to its founding period.
