Pointe Coupee Parish, Administrative division in Louisiana, United States
Pointe Coupee Parish spans across a region characterized by waterways and oak trees, with the city of New Roads serving as its administrative center point.
The parish received its name from the French phrase 'la pointe coupee' and predates the establishment of Louisiana itself as an administrative entity.
Local governance includes regular meetings of the Executive Council and Fire Districts Board, fostering community participation in municipal decision-making processes.
Parish offices operate Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 5 PM and Friday until noon at 160 East Main Street in New Roads.
