JEFF DAVIS PARISH LOUISIANA

Jeff David Parish was formed from the eastern part of Calcasieu Parish, by act of the Louisiana Legislature in 1913.

One of the first oil wells in Louisiana was drilled in Jeff Davis parish. The area is also one of the most "yankee" areas in Acadiana, being settled by farmers from the Midwest United States rather than French immigrants.

The railroad arrived in 1880 bringing more mid-westerners to the region.
