LA 63 was established as part of the River Road, following the Mississippi River from Geismar north to Baton Rouge. LA 63 began and ended at intersections with LA 1, and passed through the campus of LSU. It was supplemented by later routes established to follow the curvature of the river, and was less important than the route of LA 1.
