Collection Historical Records Survey SPECIAL COLLECTIONS, LSU LIBRARIES Transcriptions of Louisiana Police Jury Records, 1811-1940 Mss. 2984 Biographical/Historical Note When Louisiana became part of the United States, first as a territory in 1803 and then as the eighteenth state on April 30, 1812, it brought to the union a cultural heritage significantly different from that of other states. Ruled by the French (1682-1762, 1802-1803), Spanish (17621802) and in part by the British, Louisiana was a multi-cultural frontier. Creoles of French and Spanish descent, Germans upriver from New Orleans, English settlers in the "Florida" parishes, Acadians west of the Mississippi, free people of color, slaves, and Native Americans interacted with new waves of Americans from states such as Tennessee and Kentucky. Previous United States territories had been inhabited in the main by English-speaking Protestants who shared a British tradition of self-government. Louisiana's citizens were from different cultures, spoke different languages, practiced a different religion from the vast majority of U.S. citizens, and had no experience with representative government. Today, Louisiana remains unique among the United States in having a system of law based on Spanish law and the Napoleonic code rather than English common law. Louisiana's unit of local government is the parish rather than the county. The parish governing body is called the police jury. When Louisiana was purchased from France in 1803, the portion which is now approximately the State of Louisiana was called the Orleans Territory. On April 10, 1805, the governing body of the Orleans Territory divided the territory into 12 counties which roughly coincided with the parishes established by the Catholic Church during the Spanish and French regimes: Orleans, German Coast, Acadia (probably the Acadian Coast), Lafourche, Iberville, Pointe Coupee, Attakapas, Opelousas, Natchitoches, Rapides, Ouachita and Concordia. On March 31, 1807, the territorial legislature passed an act that divided the Orleans Territory into 19 parishes, but did not abolish the original 12 counties. These parishes were City of New Orleans, St. Bernard, Plaquemines, St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, St. James, Ascension, The Parish of the Assumption (created from part of Lafourche), Interior Lafourche, Iberville, Baton Rouge, Pointe Coupee, Concordia, Ouachita, Rapides, Avoyelles, Natchitoches, St. Landry, and the Parish of the Attakapas, or St. Martin. Through time these original parishes were further divided into the 64 parishes of today's Louisiana. According to the Police Jury Association of Louisiana, police juries "exercise over fifty different functions and powers including road and bridge construction and maintenance, drainage, sewerage, solid waste disposal, fire protection, recreations and parks, parish prison construction and maintenance, road lighting and marking, many water works, health units and hospitals etc. They also house and maintain the Courts and the offices of the Assessor, Coroner, Clerk of Court, Registrar of Voters, District Attorney and the Sheriff. They promote economic development and tourism in their parishes, regulate various business activities and administer numerous state and federal programs on the parish level." 4 Page 4 / 75 W.P.A. Collection Historical Records Survey SPECIAL COLLECTIONS, LSU LIBRARIES Transcriptions of Louisiana Police Jury Records, 1811-1940 Mss. 2984 Scope and Content Note This collection contains the transcriptions of the original records from the police juries for 60 of Louisiana's 64 parishes. The bulk of the collection consists of meeting minutes, ordinances and indices. For some parishes, separate record books were created to document specific roles of the police jury. Separate records for Road District Governing authorities are available for Beauregard, Natchitoches, Ouachita, and West Feliciana Parishes. Notarial and Mortgage records books are available for Caldwell Parish. Parish Board of Health record books are available for West Baton Rouge Parish. In other parishes, information related to these subjects may be integrated in the minute books. The transcriptions were made from ca. 1939 to 1942 as part of the Louisiana Historical Records Survey. The transcriptions have been transferred to microfilm. The Louisiana Historical Records Survey was administered through Louisiana State University. LSU has maintained the custodial care of these transcriptions since their creation. The historical records of the police jury document government responsibility; parish budgets and taxes, citizen participation in and expectations of government; settlement of the state's rural areas and changes in land ownership; local ordinances governing slavery and local attitudes about it, as well as the changing status of African Americans after emancipation. The records reflect topics such as the development of education for blacks and whites, the battle to control yellow fever, livestock maintenance, transportation, and flood control and levee-building. The records also contain genealogical information, useful in identifying ancestors' places of residence, death dates, and role in their communities. A small group of project records, comprised of a contemporaneous description of the transcription project and records on the progress of the work in each parish, including the names of transcribers and notes about the original minutes, is also included. 5 Page 5 / 75 W.P.A. Collection Historical Records Survey SPECIAL COLLECTIONS, LSU LIBRARIES Transcriptions of Louisiana Police Jury Records, 1811-1940 Mss. 2984 Arrangement of Series The records are arranged by parish and sorted alphabetically. Within each parish, minutes are filed chronologically. When possible, the original order of the collection was preserved. In some instances, items were re-ordered to facilitate searching. Records were not located for Cameron, Orleans, Plaquemines or St. Mary Parishes. An alphabetical listing of the parishes included in the collection and the date ranges of their records follows.
