with Bustards Cove located on the east bank of the Mississippi River, at its confluence with the Sueur River. In 1699,
Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville and
Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville discovered an indigenous
Bayagoula settlement located near the
Mississippi River intersection with a tributary in present-day New Sarpy. The site was named
L’Anse aux Outardes or
Bustard’s Cove. The granting of lands on the east bank, led to the founding of the
Second German Coast in 1730 and the establishment of officially having settlements on both banks of the Mississippi River. ==Geography==
