Louisiana Counties and Parishes: Proposed

The Creation of Legal Borders

Proposed Parishes - that never were

These parishes were proposed, but never actually made it.

Dugdemonia

1850 Act No. 153.

AN ACT Directing a census to be taken of portions of the parishes of Natchitoches, Catahoula and Rapides, with a view to the formation of a new parish.

Troy

1890 Act No. 107.

AN ACT To create the Parish of Troy, and to provide for the organization thereof. Due notice having been given as required by article 48 of the Constitution, as shown by affidavit hereto attached.

Adams v. Forsyth, 44 La. Ann. 130 (1892)

Act 107 of 1890 purporting to create a new parish called Troy is illegal and unconstitutional, because it increases representation in the House of Representatives beyond the maximum number fixed in the sixteenth article of the Constitution.
