Scott is a suburb of Lafayette and is part of the Lafayette Metropolitan Statistical Area.
The village became a town in 1960 and the town became a town/city in 1990. On April 12, 2012, Scott, Louisiana was designated by the State Legislature of Louisiana as the "Boudin Capital of the World." This was no small feat and it meant that Broussard, Louisiana needed to relinquish the title [Broussard is now known as the "former Boudin Capital of the World" but has adopted the unofficial title of "Intergalactic Boudin Capital of Positive Infinity" ] and Jennings, Louisiana owns the title of "Boudin Capital of the Universe," while seemingly more prestigious titles, both Broussard and Jennings take a back seat to the boudinmania in Scott.
The town/city of Scott's claim to the title is substantial, with more boudin purveyors per-capita than any other place in the state and a couple of the more prominent boudin manufacturers to boot, no other town/city in Louisiana produces more links than Scott. According to the United States Enumeration Bureau, the town/city has a total region of 8.9 square miles (23 km2), all of it land.
