St. Martinville, Parish seat in Louisiana, US
St. Martinville extends across 3 square miles along Bayou Teche, serving as the administrative center for St. Martin Parish in southern Louisiana.
French explorers established the territory in 1699, followed by Acadian settlers who arrived in 1765 after their expulsion from their original homeland.
The St. Martin of Tours Catholic Church and Evangeline Oak represent central elements of the local heritage, connecting to the Acadian migration story.
The St. Martin Parish Council operates from St. Martinville, managing legislative decisions and governmental services for over 50,000 parish residents.
Sugar cane fields and crawfish farms shape the agricultural landscape surrounding St. Martinville, contributing to the regional economy.
