Bains is a small, unincorporated community located in West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, in the United States. An "unincorporated community" means it's a place where people live together, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. It's part of the larger parish (which is like a county in other states). Bains sits about 187 feet (57 meters) above sea level.
A Glimpse into Bains' Past
Bains got its name from a person named Dr. Henry Bains. He was a plantation owner who lived in the area a long time ago.
