Parish Louisiana
A Brief History of Lafourche Parish
Lafourche Parish is one of the original Parishes
of Louisiana. It was created in 1807 and was
first known as Lafourche Interior Parish. In the
beginning Lafourche Interior Parish encompassed,
not only, current day Lafourche Parish, but also
the area of Terrebonne Parish. In 1822 the
western part of Lafourche Interior Parish became
Terrebonne Parish. The dividing line between the
two parishes was east of the current boundary
dividing the parishes. In the year 1853,
Lafourche Interior Parish became Lafourche
Parish, as it is known today. The parish seat of
Lafourche is the city of Thibodaux.
