Eunice

Eunice is in the Acadiana subregion of Louisiana. This town is essentially considered the center of the Prairie Cajun culture. A new city by Louisiana standards, Eunice was settled in 1900 as a planned city on the railroad. Home to the National Park Service's Prairie Acadian Cultural Center and the Liberty Theater, Eunice has quickly become one of Louisiana's major destinations for all things Cajun.
