Saint James Parish, located in the great state of Louisiana, was first established in 1807. The parish is named after Saint James of Compostela or St. James the Greater, one of Jesus Christ's twelve apostles. The region is situated along the Mississippi River, between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, and is part of the state's famous "Plantation Country." Historically, this area was known for its vast sugar cane plantations, which significantly contributed to the economy of the region.

The parish's rich history overlaps with the cultures of French, Spanish, and African Americans, who were all influential during different periods. The early French settlers established a thriving community on the river, which was later taken over by the Spanish in 1762. Throughout the plantation era, the enslaved African Americans were brought to the region to work in the sugar cane fields, leaving behind an undeniable impact on the area's cultural landscape.

One fun fact about Saint James Parish is that it is home to one of the oldest churches in the Louisiana Purchase territory, St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church, built in 1809. Additionally, the region is recognized for its unique contribution to the folklore and culture of Louisiana, particularly for its mysterious tales of the "loup-garou" (werewolves) and "gris-gris" (a type of Voodoo charm).
