"I was sent here to complete the survey of the territory in Louisiana we have rightfully taken back from the Spanish."

―Fitzwilliam P. Dalton III

Louisiana was a settlement located on the North American continent. Much of Louisiana's lands were formed from sediment washed down the Mississippi River, leaving enormous deltas and vast areas of coastal marsh and swamp. Louisiana was situated at the confluence of the Mississippi river system and the Gulf of Mexico. Its location and biodiversity attracted various indigenous groups thousands of years before Europeans arrived. European influence began in the 1500s, where the area became a French colony named in honor of King Louis XIV, as well as faced Spanish control. New Orleans, a French Louisiana region, became its largest city.

Behind the scenes

• Louisiana would first be referenced through a section of Disneyland known as New Orleans Square, based on New Orleans, which served as the location of Walt Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean. Disneyland: From the Pirates of the Caribbean to the World of Tomorrow, an episode that aired in 1968, featured Walt showing Disneyland's inaugural ambassador Julie Reihm a behind the scenes look at New Orleans Square and the Pirates attraction. Hostess Marcia Miner detailing how New Orleans was once home of real-life pirates, like the notorious Jean Lafitte, who had Laffite's Landing named after. In 2006, Louisiana would make its first in-universe appearance in Jack Sparrow: The Age of Bronze.
• On June 2013, producer Jerry Bruckheimer responded to reports that at least part the fifth film, later titled Dead Men Tell No Tales, would be set in America, specifically New Orleans, Louisiana. Bruckheimer said, "We're certainly going to be filming in Louisiana because of the tax breaks and I think there might be a sequence there." On January 2014, directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg stated that the film would be shot in Puerto Rico and New Orleans by the end of the year. However, pre-production began in Australia by late 2014, and it was confirmed that filming was to take place in 2015 exclusively in Queensland, Australia, as the largest production to ever shoot in the country.
