Thibodaux and Lafourche Parish
Thibodaux is the seat of Lafourche Parish and sits along Bayou Lafourche, roughly 60 miles southwest of New Orleans. The population is approximately 14,600. Nicholls State University, founded in 1948, enrolls about 6,000 students and is the city's largest employer. The campus sits on a former sugar plantation, and sugar cane fields remain visible in all directions outside the city limits.
Bayou Lafourche, once a distributary of the Mississippi River, runs directly through the center of town. It was dammed in 1904 at Donaldsonville, ending natural flow, though a reintroduction project has been pumping Mississippi River water back into the bayou since 2014 to improve water quality.
Thibodaux played a grim role in labor history. In 1887, sugar cane workers, most of them Black, went on strike for higher wages. The Thibodaux Massacre that followed killed an estimated 35 to 300 people, though exact numbers remain disputed. A historical marker in the city acknowledges the event.
