City of Rayne

City of Rayne The official page for the City of Rayne. Rayne and Trains. But we changed our name to Rayne, to honor the engineer who laid the tracks. Check out St.

When the railroad came to the coastal prairie in the 1800s, our community was called Pouppeville. Rayne and frogs go way back, too. In the 1900s, three Parisians - Jacques Weil and his brothers, operated a profitable export business shipping our local delicacy - frog legs - to restaurants all over the country. Rayne will always be unique. Joseph Cemetery, listed in Ripley’s Believe it or Not! as t

he only cemetery in the United States facing north-south.

Rayne is still hopping. Come see for yourself!
