Lafayette is located along Interstate 10 between New Orleans and Houston, and is at the south end of Interstate 49 that leads to Shreveport.  It is the center of Acadiana, which includes the parishes of Acadia, Iberia, Evangeline, Lafayette, Vermilion, St. Mary, St. Martin and St. Landry.  Lafayette is the capital of this eight-parish metro-retail area of more than 700,000 people.  It is the financial, service, medical, educational, technological, cultural, energy, entertainment, and consumer capital of Acadiana.  The University of Louisiana-Lafayette was founded in 1898 in Lafayette and is the second-largest, four year university in the state.

Also known as the Hub City, Lafayette has been ranked in the top 10 in several major publications as the best place to start and grow a business.  Acadiana's top businesses bring in almost $1 billion annually.  Lafayette is known for its entrepreneurial spirit and is a hub for the energy services sector.
