Evangeline Parish

Located in the central region of Louisiana, Evangeline Parish has a population of over 33,000 residents and was created on New Year’s Day of 1911. The parish was formed from parts of present-day St. Landry Parish and the current parish seat is Ville Platte. The parish is home to part of the Lacassine National Wildlife Refuge, which was established to serve as a safe breeding ground for migratory birds and other species across Louisiana. Evangeline Parish was named after the heroine of a Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem of the same name. The parish is neighbors with Rapides parish to the north and Acadia Parish to the nouth. Evangeline Parish is one of the oldest inhabited parishes in the state, with records showing French settlers claiming the land as early as the 17th century.
