History

French and Spanish Territory

The land which became St. Landry has been inhabited since at least 10,500 B.C., as deducted from three prehistoric dwelling sites that have been excavated in the parish. In the 16th century the Atakapa Indians settled in the area.^[1] The Attapakas were a warlike tribe, often praying on their neighbors, the Opelousas Indians, the Choctaws, and the Alabamans. The three neighboring tribes united against the Attakapas, almost destroying the tribe and driving them from their lands in Louisiana. The Opelousas then gained control over the territory.^[2] Atakapa is the name of a group of small bands and the language of Native Americans that lived along the Gulf of Mexico. ... For other uses, see Choctaw (disambiguation). ... Alabama-Coushatta Reservation welcome sign The Alabama or Alibamu (Albaamaha in the Alabama language) are a Southeastern culture people of Native Americans. ...

According to local legend, the first white man to reach the land of St. Landry Parish was a French trader, who negotiated with the Opelousas Indians about 1690. Several years later, the French government of Louisiana established the Poste des Opelousas in the territory, which quickly became a stopping point for people travelling overland from New Orleans to Natchitoches. ^[1] New Orleans is the largest city in the state of Louisiana, United States of America. ... The city of Natchitoches (pronounced , or NAK-uh-tush) is the parish seat of Natchitoches Parish, in the U.S. state of Louisiana. ...

In the early 1740s the area welcomed its first non-military settlers, Jean Joseph LeKintrek and Joseph Blainpain, who had formed a parternship to trade with the Opelousas Indians, and arrived with their three African slaves, the first Africans to live in the area.

Three years after taking the territory of Louisiana from France, in 1765, the Spanish built a military and trade post at Opelousas, which became the governing center for the entire southwestern part of Louisiana. The large garrison was established slightly north of the modern-day city of Opelousas.^[1] Despite the fact that neither the French nor Spanish actively encouraged settlement in the area, by 1769 about 100 families were living near the Opelousas Post. Some of them were soldiers from Spain, Italy and Switzerland who had originally arrived as part of the Spanish military, while others had arrived from England, Scotland, Ireland, and Germany, and a large group of French-speaking Acadian exiles had settles along the banks of the bayous in the area.^[3] The national flag of Acadia, adopted in 1884. ...

Property of the United States

The United States gained control of the territory in 1803 through the Louisiana Purchase, and Americans from various parts of the United States began to migrate to the area, marking the first time that English was used in any widespread way in the area.^[1] The Louisiana Purchase. ...

St. Landry Parish was officially established by a legislative act approved on April 10, 1805 from the central part of the former Opelousas County, becoming the largest parish in the state. The new parish was named after the Catholic Church located near the Opelousas Post, which was itself named for St. Landry, the Bishop of Parish in 650 A.D.^[1] At this time, the parish's boundaries encompassed all of the land between the Atchafalaya and Sabine rivers and between Rapides Parish and Vernon Parish and Lafayette and St. Martin Parishes. In the intervening years the parish has grown smaller, as six additional parishes were created from its territory. These include Calcasieu, Acadia, Evangeline, Jeff Davis, Beauregard, and Allen.^[1] 1805 was a common year starting on Tuesday (see link for calendar). ...

The city of Opelousas has been the seat of government for the parish since its formation.^[1] After |Baton Rouge fell to the Union troops during the Civil War in 1862, Opelousas became the state capital for nine months. The capital was moved again in 1863, this time to Shreveport when Union troops occupied Opelousas.After |Baton Rouge fell to the Union troops during the Civil War in 1862, Opelousas became the state capital for nine months.

Reconstruction was not kind to the area, and in 1868 between 25 and 50 blacks were killed in town when residents rioted against the conditions. This has been cited as one of the worst examples of Reconstruction violence in south Louisiana.^[2] Reconstruction was the attempt from 1865 to 1877 in U.S. history to resolve the issues of the American Civil War, when both the Confederacy and slavery were destroyed. ...

St. Landry Parish became a haven for refugees in May 1927, when heavy rains in northern and midwestern areas caused intense flooding in areas downstream, especially after levees near Moreauville, Cecilia and Melville collapsed. Over 81% of St. Landry Parish suffered some flooding, with 77% of the inhabitants affected. People in more southern areas of Louisiana, especially those communities along Bayou Teche, were forced to flee their homes for areas which suffered less damage. By May 20th, over 5700 refugees were registered as being in Opelousas, which at that time had a population of only 6000 people. When all communities in St. Landry Parish were counted, it was estimated that the parish housed over 21,000 refugees.^[5] Moreauville is a village located in Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana. ...
