Historically, settlers who came from Europe (mostly French and Spanish) mixed with the Native American Houma people living in this area. In the 1850s, the settlers formed two villages next to each other: Ascension and Gonzales.
Geismar, which is adjacent to and west of Gonzales, would develop much later as part of the Industrial Revolution and the buildout of the industrial sector with the creation of factories that make chemicals. The area is part of what is called the Chemical Corridor by some and Cancer Alley by detractors. It has this name for the more than 200 petrochemical plants and refineries that line an 85-mile-long stretch running parallel to the Mississippi River.
In contemporary times, the city is known for the explosion of a chemical plant in 2013, which injured over 70 people and killed two.
