The Pelican State is the official nickname of Louisiana. The brown pelican was designated the official state bird of Louisiana in 1966. Early European settlers were impressed with the pelican's generous and nurturing attitude toward their young, and the pelican has been a symbol of Louisiana since that time. The pelican appears on Louisiana's state flag, great seal, the official state painting and is one of three Louisiana symbols displayed on the U.S. mint's bicentennial Louisiana quarter (source: statesymbolsusa.org). Louisiana became the 18th state of the United States of America in 1812.
