Pointe a la Hache, Louisiana
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Point a la Hache is an unincorporated village or place in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. Located on the east bank of the Mississippi River, the village has been the seat for Plaquemines Parish since the formation of the parish.
The courthouse was severely damaged by arson on January 12, 2002. Since then, government has used several temporary buildings in Belle Chasse, and the Parish Council has proposed three times to move the Parish seat. All these proposals were rejected by the voters. Point a la Hache was severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina at the end of August, 2005.
