About Opelousas
We Are Opelousas …
We have a flavored history. We are one of Louisiana’s oldest communities. Established in 1720 as Le Poste Des Opelousas, our community grew as a center of trade and a crossroads of commerce. Our history lives on in our historic homes, our town square, and in the museums that celebrate our storied past.
Cajun and Swamp Pop round out our musical heritage creating a mix of sounds unlike any in the world.

We are a place of progress where we look to the future with the wisdom of a nearly 300-year history, we are a place of families where day-to-day routines are a celebration of a culture preserved, and we cherish this place and all the ingredients that make us unique.
