Most people know Avoyelles Parish (county) as a community between industrial centers along the Mississippi River to the north and City to the south. While the parish is home for many commuters, Avoyelles Parish provides an excellent location for lighter industries that convert the raw materials produced in those areas, such as seafood processing and petrochemical products. Most of the unincorporated communities are peopled with fishermen that make their living from the lower xxx Basin and the Gulf of Mexico. The rebounding oil industry and the rise of tourism helps make the parish an ideal home for a diverse population.
