Iberville Parish, Louisiana

Iberville Location Map Louisiana

Iberville Parish is a slice of Louisiana history waiting to be explored. It’s just across the Mississippi River from Baton Rouge, making it an easy day trip from the state capital.

The parish is named after Pierre Le Moyne d’Iberville, a French-Canadian explorer who founded the Louisiana colony. The Atchafalaya Basin is America’s largest river swamp. It actually forms the parish’s western border.

You’ll find a mix of small towns and rural landscapes here, with places like Plaquemine (the parish seat) and St. Gabriel. It’s a paradise for fishing, hunting, and airboat tours.
