The Atchafalaya Basin’s backwater lakes and bayous, including Bayou Sorrel and Grand River, cover a significant share of the parish’s water area. Iberville Parish borders Pointe Coupee Parish to the north, West Baton Rouge Parish<\/a> and East Baton Rouge Parish<\/a> to the east, Ascension Parish<\/a> to the southeast, Assumption Parish to the south, Iberia Parish to the southwest, and St. Martin Parish to the west.<\/p>\n At the 2020 census Iberville Parish had 30,241 residents. St. Gabriel and Plaquemine are its two largest communities. Median household income runs well below the Louisiana median of $58,229 for the state overall, reflecting the parish’s historically agricultural and industrial-shift-work economy. Population density is roughly 49 people per square mile across the parish’s 619 square miles of land.<\/p>\n Petrochemical plants along the Mississippi River corridor, particularly around Plaquemine and St. Gabriel, are the parish’s largest employers, alongside sugarcane farming that still dominates land use away from the river. St. Gabriel is also home to two Louisiana state correctional facilities. The parish’s Catholic and Cajun-French heritage shapes local festivals, including sugarcane-harvest and river-parish community events held through the fall.<\/p>\n Iberville Parish was established in 1807, one of Louisiana’s original 19 parishes created after statehood-era reorganization of the old Spanish and French colonial districts. It is named for Pierre Le Moyne d’Iberville, the French-Canadian naval officer and colonist who led the expedition that founded French Louisiana in 1699. The parish’s river frontage made it a center of sugarcane plantation agriculture through the 19th century; Carville later became internationally known as the site of the United States’ only leprosarium, the National Hansen’s Disease Center, from 1894 until its closure as a treatment hospital in 1999.<\/p>\n Interstate 10 crosses the parish’s northeastern corner, and Louisiana Highways 1, 30, 69, 75, 76, and 77 provide the main regional connections along both riverbanks.<\/p>\n Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport is the nearest commercial airport.<\/p>\n Where is Iberville Parish?<\/strong> What is the population of Iberville Parish?<\/strong> How big is Iberville Parish?<\/strong> What is the Iberville Parish seat?<\/strong> How many towns and villages are in Iberville Parish?<\/strong> |
