It was Jacob Ryan who founded Calcasieu Parish, of which Lake Charles is the county seat. This region is highly industrialized around the exploitation of oil and natural gas. Lake Charles is in fact a huge petrochemical complex and its commerce has developed around the port on Calcasieu River. The city is rather well integrated in a region full of lakes, bayous and swamps. The casino boats are the main attraction of the city, and Americans spend all day on them, but we also recommend the Lakefront promenade, the Cottage Shops area for the stores and Ryan Street for the nightlife.
