St. Martin Parish, Administrative division in Louisiana, US.
St. Martin Parish extends across 816 square miles in south Louisiana, containing both urban areas and waterways within the Atchafalaya Basin region.
The parish formed from Attakapas Parish in 1811 and underwent divisions that created Lafayette Parish in 1824, Vermilion Parish in 1844, and Iberia Parish in 1868.
French settlers from Acadia established communities in the late 1700s, maintaining their language and traditions through generations of inhabitants in St. Martin Parish.
The St. Martin Parish Government operates from St. Martinville, providing services through departments for tourism, economic development, recreation, and law enforcement.
The parish structure includes non-contiguous sections divided by the Atchafalaya River basin, creating distinct Upper and Lower St. Martin areas.
