On March 21, 1843, the Louisiana Legislature under the administration of Governor Alexandre Mouton passed Act 46, which carved up the large Natchitoches Parish and created the new parishes of Sabine, DeSoto, and Bossier. Act 46 specified that the seat of government for the newly created Sabine Parish would be named Many, in honor of Colonel James B. Many, one of the most popular and colorful officers serving at nearby Fort Jesup.
Toledo Bend is a reservoir on the Sabine River between Texas and Louisiana. The lake has an area of 185,000 acres, the fifth largest body of water in the United States.
The reservoir shoreline on the Louisiana side is 75% in Sabine Parish. Many is the seat of the Parish. Therefore it claims it is the "Heart of Toledo Bend".
