List of parishes in Louisiana
List of Parishes in Louisiana is a comprehensive guide to the 64 parishes in the U.S. state of Louisiana. Unlike most U.S. states, which are divided into counties, Louisiana is divided into parishes, a local government structure which is equivalent to counties. This system was established during the Louisiana's colonial period when the state was under French and Spanish rule, and the term "parish" was used to describe a local church's ecclesiastical jurisdiction.
History
The use of parishes in Louisiana dates back to the state's colonial period under French and Spanish rule. The term "parish" was used to describe a local church's ecclesiastical jurisdiction. After the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, these divisions were retained and continued to serve as the state's civil jurisdictions.
