Calcasieu Parish is located in the southwestern region of Louisiana, and it was established on March 24, 1840. The parish derived its name from the Native American Atakapa tribe's word "quelqueshue," meaning "crying eagle." The area was initially part of Saint Landry Parish, one of the original 19 parishes of Louisiana, formed in 1807.

In the years following its establishment, Calcasieu Parish flourished as a major center for the timber industry, which attracted many workers and settlers to the area. The local economy saw further growth in the early 1900s with the construction of important infrastructure, such as the Port of Lake Charles, and the expansion of the petrochemical and natural gas industries.

Calcasieu Parish is known for its rich cultural diversity and vibrant arts scene. It is famously home to several festivals, such as the Southwest Louisiana Mardi Gras, Boudin Wars, and Festival International de Louisiane. The parish is also recognized for its strong Creole and Cajun roots, which are reflected in its unique cuisine, music, and traditions.

A fun fact about Calcasieu Parish is that it is home to the Creole Nature Trail, also known as the All-American Road. This picturesque driving route extends over 180 miles and showcases the stunning natural beauty of Southwest Louisiana, offering opportunities for wildlife viewing, bird watching, and connecting with nature.
