Iberville Parish ((フランス語:Paroisse d'Iberville)) is a parish located south of Baton Rouge in the U.S. state of Louisiana. As of the 2010 census, the population was 33,387.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/22/22047.html )〕 Its seat is Plaquemine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 The parish was formed in 1807.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Iberville Parish )〕 Iberville Parish is part of the Baton Rouge, LA Metropolitan Statistical Area. ==History== The parish is named for Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville, who founded the French colony of Louisiana. A few archeological efforts have been made in the Parish, mainly to excavate the Native American burial mounds that have been identified there. The first expedition, led by Clarence B. Moore, was an attempt at collecting data from a couple of the sites, and it set the groundwork for later projects. Clarence was mainly interested in the skeletal remains of the previous inhabitants, rather than excavating for archeological items. Archeologists are especially interested in these sites because of their uniformity and size. Some of the mounds are seven hundred feet long, a hundred feet wide and six feet tall. Most of them contain human remains.〔Ford, James A: "Measuring the Flow of Time", page 415. The University of Alabama Press, 1999〕 Iberville Parish is represented in the Louisiana State Senate by a Republican, attorney Rick Ward, III, a former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives, who has served in the Senate since 2012. The parish is currently represented in the state House by Democrat Major Thibaut of Oscar in Pointe Coupee Parish. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iberville Parish, Louisiana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
