I have lived in Louisiana all my life and have never heard of Central. And I am amazed that it is larger than Natchitoches.

Technically, Metairie is an unincorporated bunch of county land with no city authority.

Very flawed. This quiz seems to only apply incorporated cities into the list. There are quite a few unincorporated "cities" that would ordinarily make this list.

Unicorporated; therefore, not a city.

Got 3 points despite getting only 7 cities. I'll take that and run!

All the ones I knew, other than NOLA, were due to following college football:

LSU - Baton Rouge

Louisiana Tech - Ruston

McNeese St. - Lake Charles

Southwestern Louisiana (later, LA-Lafayette)

Northeast Louisiana (later, LA-Monroe)

Independence Bowl - Shreveport

Oh Central lol. The only reason that Central has the population it does is because it incorporated a massive amount of land so that it could pull in more people for tax revenue. Central's city limits are over 62 square miles; meanwhile other suburbs of Baton Rouge like Zachary (26 sq mi) and Denham Springs (7+ sq mi) have much larger population densities.

According to both Wikipedia and Google Maps, Youngville is Youngsville. The City of Youngsville also agrees that there it is not Youngville and is in fact Youngsville.

Yeah I live right outside of Youngsville and could not figure out why it wouldn't accept that for the answer. Kind of frustrating to have that as the only one I missed.
