Lafourche Parish is located in the southeastern part of Louisiana, along the banks of Bayou Lafourche. The parish was officially established on April 10, 1807, when the state of Louisiana was still part of the Orleans Territory. The area was originally inhabited by the Chitimacha Native American tribe, and later by European settlers, predominantly French and Spanish.

The name "Lafourche" is derived from the French word "fourche," which means "fork." This refers to the fork-like shape of the bayou, which splits from the Mississippi River and serves as the main waterway in the region. The Bayou is the lifeblood of Lafourche Parish, providing nourishment and transportation for the local people and economy.

Throughout its history, Lafourche Parish has been shaped by various cultural influences. French, Spanish, African, and Acadian (Cajun) cultures have all contributed to the area's rich history and customs, evidenced by its cuisine, language, music, and more.

Lafourche Parish's economy has traditionally been based on agriculture, specifically sugarcane farming, as well as fishing and other coastal industries. In recent times, the oil and gas industry have also played a critical role in the local economy. The unique geography of the parish, with the Gulf of Mexico to the south and swampy wetlands to the north, has contributed to its natural beauty and thriving eco-tourism sector.

Fun fact: Lafourche Parish is often referred to as "The Longest Street in the World" because Bayou Lafourche, the main waterway, runs along Louisiana Highway 1, which stretches for more than 100 miles. This has led to a saying among locals, "Lafourche 100 miles long and two blocks wide."
