Lijst van parishes in Louisiana

Van Wikipedia

De Amerikaanse staat Louisiana is in 64 zogenaamde Parishes verdeeld. Hoewel de naam anders is, zijn de parishes te vergelijken met de county's in 48 van de andere Amerikaanse staten. Toen Louisiana door de Verenigde Staten van Frankrijk was overgenomen, heeft men het gebied ingedeeld in gebieden die ongeveer samenvielen met kerkparochies die toen in het gebied bestonden. In de grondwet van Louisiana van 1845 is de term blijven bestaan.

In het zuiden van de staat vormen 22 parishes een aparte regio: Acadiana (naar het oude Acadië) of Cajun Country. Louisiana heeft dit gebied erkend als een aparte regio vanwege zijn bijzondere cultuur van Franse herkomst.
