Acadians that settled around Kaplan, LA, were part of Le Grand Dérangment, where the British expelled the native French-speaking Acadians from their homeland in Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1755, because they refused to swear alliance to the British crown. They settled in this Attakapas and Vermilion in this Spanish-controlled region. The name "Acadian" evolved into "Cajun." Here are more photos from the Cajun museum in Kaplan.
