Bienville Parish, Parish administrative division in northwestern Louisiana, US.
Bienville Parish covers 1,100 square miles of forests, rivers, and lakes in the northern region of Louisiana, with Arcadia as its main administrative center.
Named after Jean Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, the parish emerged in 1848 and played a substantial role during the westward expansion of the United States.
The local population maintains Southern traditions through regular community gatherings, agricultural fairs, and events that showcase regional cooking and crafts.
Major highways connect the parish to surrounding cities, while local facilities include schools, medical centers, and outdoor recreation areas for fishing and hunting.
The Great Southern Cotton Mill stands as a testament to the parish's industrial heritage, marking its economic transformation in the late nineteenth century.
