   Avery Island's salt mine was first dug in 1920 by oil workers who were actually drilling for Tabasco peppers.

2. 2

   Bird City began around 1895 when Ned McIlhenny raised egret chicks to save snowy egrets from hat-feather hunters.

3. 3

   Avery Island's old name, Petite Anse, means "Little Cove" in Louisiana French.
