COUNTY INFO
LOUISIANA When Louisiana was divided into its 12 original counties in 1805, smaller civil divisions called parishes took over the functions of the counties. When organized in 1807, Natchitoches Parish was 120 miles long and 70 miles wide. It included what is now Caddo, Bossier, Webster, DeSoto, Bienville, Claiborne, Sabine, and Red River parishes, plus parts of Lincoln, Winn, Vernon, Jackson and Grant.
Vernon Parish was created in April 1871 from Natchitoches, Rapides & Sabine Parishes, and Leesville was designated the parish seat.
ARKANSAS In 1844, Polk County was formed from Sevier County.
In 1873, Howard County was organized from parts of Hempstead, Polk, Sevier and Pike Counties.
