Spanish Town, established in 1805 as Baton Rouge's oldest neighborhood, reflects the colorful, changing heritage and development of Louisiana's capital.  The HSTCA was created in 1974 by local residents in order to develop, preserve, and protect the "unique character" of Spanish Town which has been a viable part of Baton Rouge throughout its history.  The HSTCA has been in continuous existence since then and continues to perpetuate the pulse of the neighborhood.  In 1978 the HSTCA was instrumental in having our neighborhood designated as the "Spanish Town Historic District" and recognized as such on the U.S. Department of the Interior's National Register of Historic Places.  Then in 2008 the HSTCA was again instrumental in obtaining designation as the "Spanish Town Local Historical District" with Design Guidelines to maintain, preserve, and enhance the architectural character of Spanish Town.

The Ordinance governing Spanish Town’s Parking Tag Program has changed.

Previously, proof of residency could be made by presenting a utility or other bill addressed to the applicant. In August 2010, the Metro Council changed some provisions of the program. Proof of residency may now be established by presenting a driver’s license, car registration, property lease or property tax bill. These are the only forms of identification accepted.
