Marker Text states
After the hurricane of Cheniere Caminada in 1893, a group of refugees settled in this area. Because many of them painted their homes white, the steelement became known as "La Cote Blanche," a village of white houses. On this site in 1899, the settlers erected a chapel under the leadership of Rev. A.M. Rochard, pastor at Larose. In 1924, the mission became the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish of Cote Blanche.
