Aben is a small place in Louisiana, United States. It's known as an unincorporated community, which means it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's part of a larger area called Ascension Parish.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community like Aben is a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own official city government. This means it doesn't have a mayor or a city council. Instead, the local services and rules for Aben are managed by the larger area it's in, which is Ascension Parish. This is common for many smaller communities across the United States.
Where is Aben Located?
Aben is found in Ascension Parish, Louisiana. It's located near a big bend in the famous Mississippi River. Even though the river generally flows from north to south, Aben is considered to be on the west bank of the river.
It's about 3 miles (5 kilometers) east of a town called Donaldsonville. A road called Louisiana Highway 18 passes right through the community, making it easy to get around.
