Greetings,

On behalf of myself and the Gonzales City Council, we wish to welcome you to the City of Gonzales and Ascension Parish.

We are extremely proud of our heritage and southern hospitality and know that you will enjoy our beautiful city where the friendliest people on earth live.

We offer you not only our friendship but our recreational, social, artistic, and religious programs and associations that are sure to meet your approval.

We are located between Baton Rouge and New Orleans in the corridor of history and aesthetic beauty.

Gonzales is known as the "Jambalaya Capital of the World." Jambalaya is a mixture of different meats, spices, and rice and is an old recipe from our forefathers that is enjoyed by our local residents as well as our visitors.

We sincerely wish you an informative and enjoyable visit to our site and hope that you will pay us a visit in person soon.

Again, welcome to the heart of a beautiful city which cherishes its past and builds for its future.

Mayor-Administrator
