Plaquemines Parish was founded in 1807. Being the southern most parish in Louisiana; it is a peninsula, surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico. The mighty Mississippi River divides the parish in two, and empties into the gulf here. The great "River Road" begins, and ends in the parish; and the hunting and fishing are unbelievable.

With a water area of 1,584.0 square miles, and land area covering some 844.6 square miles; the population averages out to approx. 30.3 people per square mile. The parish seat is Pointe A la Hache.
