Lafourche (The Fork) Parish
Home of Nicholls State University aka Harvard on the Bayou!
Stretching from Thibodaux down to Grand Isle, Lafourche Parish is built along the historic Bayou Lafourche, once the main distributary of the Mississippi River. For generations, this bayou has been the lifeline of the region—supporting Cajun culture, fishing families, sugarcane farms, and the Gulf seafood industry.
From Lockport to Larose to Galliano, the parish is known for strong Cajun traditions, great food, and hardworking people who make their living on the water and in the oilfields.

It’s a place where French heritage, bayou life, and Louisiana resilience all come together.
