There's nobody too busy to stop for a chat. New Iberia is a place where we play as hard as we work. We call it joie de vivre, we love our life.
Family is the backbone of community here.
There is a commitment to pass on traditions of the land we farm and the waters we fish to our children. We are equally focused on the education our children receive in the classroom. For New Iberians, this means a conscious determination to balance the richness of our traditions with the innovations of the modern world. You'll get to use it here. But New Iberia, as its name implies, was founded by Spanish explorers in 1779.
