Evangeline Parish

Ville Platte, LA 70586
Evangeline Parish is governed by a police jury system, a unique administrative structure found only in Louisiana. Established in the early 19th century, the police jury evolved from a 12-member body serving under the parish judge to the elected officials responsible for local governance today.
The police jury's origins date back to the division of the state into parishes in 1807, paralleling ecclesiastical boundaries. It has since developed into a vital institution, entrusted with various responsibilities related to local administration and community affairs, reflecting the historical evolution of governance in the region.
