It’s a rural area and has unfortunately had a steady decline in population over the years.

The word “parish” has its roots in the state’s French and Spanish colonial history. It originally referred to church parishes, which were used as administrative units. Interestingly, the first parishes were established way back in 1807, just a few years after the Louisiana Purchase.
Louisiana’s geography is diverse, with swamps, marshes, and coastal plains in the south, and rolling hills in the north. Its parish system is just one of the many things that make this state stand out. From the Mardi Gras streets of New Orleans to the quiet bayous of the coast, each parish contributes to Louisiana life.
