Historically part of French Louisiana, present-day Acadiana was inhabited by Attakapa Native Americans at the time of European encounter. After the expulsion of French-speaking Acadian refugees from Canada by the victorious British at the end of the Seven Years' War, many Acadians settled in this region. The Acadians intermarried with other settlers, forming what became known as Cajun culture. The definitions of “Cajun” and “Creole” and the boundaries of “Acadiana” are somewhat fungible and are often applied to all of southern Louisiana.
