Back in the 16th century, current-day St.Landry Parish was occupied by several NativeAmerican tribes: the warlike Atakapa Indians,

the Choctaws, the Alabamans and the OpelousasIndians. According to local legend, the premier whitesettler to the area was Michel de Birotte, a Frenchtrader who came around 1690. A number of years later,Louisiana’s French government constructed le Poste desOpelousas, a point which would become a popularstopping point for those traveling from New Orleans toNatchitoches. Le Poste des Opelousas is recognized asone of Louisiana’s oldest European settlement.

In 1765, three years after acquiring the territory ofLouisiana from France, the Spanish constructed amilitary and trade post located slightly north of thecurrent-day city of Opelousas. Nearly 100 familieslocated in and near the post by 1769. The mix ofsettlers included soldiers from Spain, Italy andSwitzerland who came to the area as part of the Spanishmilitary; immigrants from England, Scotland, Ireland

The U.S. eventually secured control of the territory in 1803through the Louisiana Purchase. Two years later, the Territory ofOrleans was divided into 12 counties, with one being the Countyof Opelousas.

Opelousas, Louisiana’s third oldest city, was designated as theparish’s seat and was incorporated as a town in 1821. In 1862, asthe Civil War was being played out, the Union seized BatonRouge, resulting in the designation of Opelousas as the capital ofConfederate Louisiana. After nine months, in 1863 Opelousasendured occupation by the Union army and the capital was onceagain relocated to Shreveport.

After the war, the area began to expand in all aspects and today,St. Landry Parish is home to over 90,000 with approximately23,000 residing within Opelousas, also commonly referred to as“The Big O.”

intoxicated and reckless drivers off our streets.

Levee PatrolThe levee patrol section’s main duty is to patrol the campsand levees of the parish. In the past, thieves would prey on thecamps that are often only occupied on weekends and huntingseasons. The patrol has dramatically reduced the damagingand thefts at the camps.

The reserves trainings are held mostly at night andconsist of the same training that full-time deputies attend.

Senior Citizens Programs/TRIADWith four TRIAD events throughout the year ending with aChristmas party that always has close to 600 guests, we couldnot do it without the countless volunteers we have. Eachevent has games, food, door prizes and guest speakers workingto try to give our elderly everything they deserve.

Inmate Work CrewsThe sheriff ’s office continues to maintain work crews ofinmates. The work crews clean and paint graveyards, re-paintschools and pick up trash along the roads in the parish.

effects of drug abuse. The 17-hour program covers topics likeways and methods of saying “no,” resolving differences withunderstandings that are violence-free and building one’s self-esteem.

St. Landry Parish


Dear Fellow Citizens,

First, let me take this time to say it is indeedmy

pleasure to serve asSheriff of such a great parish. We are

at the end of the midpoint of my 1st term as Sheriff and

our Sheriff ’s Department is surpassing the goals set forth

by me and expected by you, the citizenry.

When I assumed office on November 20th, 2006, I

encountered a situation resulting from the fact that many

key people had left their posts prior to my arrival. The inter

im

operational plan I implemented in November of 2006 was never

intended to become permanent. It was designed to assure that services to the

citizens of St. Landry Parish would not be interrupted

until such time that I could

conclude an exhaustive review of all departmental functions, positions, and personnel. I brought in

experienced law enforcement, financial andbusiness people to a

ssist me with this endeavor. They

were assigned the task of identifying the positive pro

grams that needed to be continued and

improved upon or expanded, eliminating those that were non-productive

and needed to be

discontinued. I believe we have accomplished our initial mission with great success.

One of my promises to the people ofthe parish was to bring the St

. Landry Parish Sheriff ’s

Office to a higher standard and into the 21st centu

ry in terms of law enforcement. It is unfortunate

that change is frequently viewed with suspicion or trepidation. I submit to you that without chang

e

you have stagnation, and stagnation leads to mediocrity. I was elected on a promise of taking the St.

Landry Parish Sheriff Department to the next level of professionalism

. I believe we have done that.

It is my hope that St. Landry Parish grows and prospers because we

have made it a better and

safer place for ourcitizens, businesses,

visiting friends, family, and tourists.

Thank You for visiting our wonderful parish.

Sincerely,

Bobby J. Guidroz,Sheriff

How We

There are more than 100churches of all faiths anddenominations meeting in St.

Landry Parish today, ranging from verysmall churches in quiet settings to largerchurches with thousands of members.

The first Catholic church, the Churchof the Immaculate Conception, in whatis now St. Landry Parish was built atWashington in 1777. The secondchurch was built in 1798 on the site ofthe present St. Landry Church inOpelousas. A third building wasconstructed on that site in 1828, andthe present church was begun in 1908and finished the next year.

When the congregation of St. LandryCatholic Church outgrew the 1828church, parishioners asked that the newchurch occupy the site of the oldbuilding and that the material in the oldbuilding be used to build the new one.That request was granted, and thefoundation of the present building wasmade from the bricks of the old church.

From the late 1750s until the first priestwas appointed to Opelousas, thesettlement was served by at least twoitinerant priests. In 1765, Father Irénée,a Capuchin and pastor of the church atPointe Coupée, visited southwestLouisiana irregularly. In 1766 and1767, Father Archange, anotherCapuchin, was pastor of Pointe Coupée.He also visited the Opelousas area. Oldrecords indicate that a Father Valentinewas the first resident priest inOpelousas, having arrived in 1767.

According to William Henry Perrin’saccount, the first Protestant minister insouthwest Louisiana was Joseph Willis,

who preached the first Protestantsermon in November 1804, inVermilion Parish.

According to Perrin, “(Willis) remainedbut a short time on his first visit andpreached only three or four sermons.His color, and being a Baptist, renderedhim obnoxious, and exposed him tostrong prejudices, and he wasthreatened with violence. He returnedhome after a brief visit, but he felt it hisduty to come to the country he hadvisited and labor for the good of thepeople.

“He chose a location, returned toMississippi, made his arrangements andthe year following returned and located

permanently in Louisiana, on BayouChicot, in the parish of St. Landry.Here, on the l3th of November, 1812, achurch was constituted by him the firstBaptist church in the State, and Rev.Mr. Willis became at the request of thechurch, its pastor.”

Opelousas also has other historicchurches:e Holy Ghost Church, established in

1920, is the largest African Americanchurch parish in the U.S. Thepresent church building on UnionStreet was built in 1948.

e Louisiana Memorial UnitedMethodist Church on LombardStreet was founded in 1806. This isthe first Protestant church inOpelousas, the first Methodistchurch in Louisiana and the oldestMethodist church west of theMississippi River.

e The Little Zion Baptist Church onAcademy Street was the first blackBaptist church at Opelousas. It wasorganized in 1869.

eMount Olive Baptist Church onChurch Street sits at the site of theBlack Academy of Mt. Olive,organized in 1897 as one ofOpelousas earliest private schools forblack students.
