Louisiana Girls State was started in 1941 by the American Legion Auxilary . It is held on the LSU campus. Louisiana is the only program to hold concurrent sessions with Boys State, which is also held on the LSU campus. It is the second largest program. Due to the dates of the program, Louisiana does not send delegates to Girls Nation, which is held on overlapping dates. During the eight days at Girls State, the citizens hold positions on the city, parish and later, state offices. When not in classrooms or convocations, the girls walk around cheering and chanting with their Parish. At Louisiana Girls State, there are ten parishes, each with two cities.
