Avery Island, located in Iberia Parish, Louisiana, is not a conventional island but rather a salt dome rising above the surrounding marshes.
The area is historically significant as the birthplace of TABASCO® hot sauce, where the McIlhenny family began producing the famous condiment in 1868. The island features unique ecological and cultural attractions, including the Jungle Gardens, a 170-acre botanical garden and bird sanctuary established in the early 1900s. The site also demonstrates the importance of salt mining in Louisiana's history, with salt deposits that have been utilized since Native American times.
Today, Avery Island serves as both a cultural landmark and a nature preserve, showcasing the distinct blend of industry, ecology, and Cajun heritage that characterizes this region of Louisiana.
