Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Pont Des Mouton (which means "bridge of the Moutons") is a small community in Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, United States. It's called an "unincorporated community" because it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town does.

This community, along with its bridge and a nearby road, got its name from two important local landowners: Jean and Marin Mouton. They were among the first people to settle in this area back in the 1770s.
