Book Description
French Creoles from Pointe Coupee and French Canadians from Quebec arrived in Avoyelles in the 1780s and many received land grants along Old River at Hydropolis. After the Louisiana Purchase they were joined by Americans moving west and more direct French immigrants. Here on the flood safe prairie, these settlers established the first cemetery, the first school, the first bank as the area became a nucleus of Avoyelles. These early settlers along with the Native Americans who already called the area home, give the Cocoville-Hydropolis area a rich place in Louisiana history. The settlers and families of Cocoville have made their mark on local, state and even national history.

Book Description
The parish has a rich history begun by people of many different descents--French, Spanish, English, Scotch-Irish, German, Italian, and Jewish--coming together in mutual respect and peace, but not without the ups and downs that come with the human condition. The books takes the reader on six tours through Avoyelles, from the towns of Marksville and Cocoville to Lake Pearl and Cottonport, giving the reader a penned as well as pictorial background of life in the parish as well as the culture that still thrives within them. Members of the executive board of La Commission des Avoyelles have combed the sections of their parish to bring forth the written and oral history and every old picture that could be found. Brought together in a masterful collection, the pieces document Avoyelles parish, its beginning, its development, and its present.

Book Description
Originally published in 1943, this comprehensive volume chronicles the history of Avoyelles Parish, from the first Indian settlers to the time of the book's publication. Saucier provides in-depth information about the organization of the parish as it grew out of the Avoyelles Post during the French regime. Throughout the book, Saucier explores the many hardships endured by the first settlers, such as the health and sanitation, relief and welfare organizations, and numerous disasters-most notably the Red River flood of 1927. Saucier also provides the history of institutions, such as churches, education, banking, and journalism, that would serve as a foundation for its future population.
