Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Laurents Point is a small place in Louisiana, a state in the United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and people living together, but it doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town would. Instead, it's managed by the larger area around it.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community is a place where people live close together, but it's not officially a city or town. It doesn't have its own mayor or city council. Instead, the local government of the larger area, like a county or, in Louisiana, a "parish," takes care of things like roads, police, and other services for the community.

Where is Laurents Point Located?

Laurents Point is found in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. A "parish" in Louisiana is like what other states call a "county." So, Vermilion Parish is one of the many local government areas in Louisiana. Laurents Point is located in the southwestern part of Louisiana, not far from the coast.
