== Fun facts ==
* Morgan City has plenty of amenities to offer. The Supercenter is across the Atchafalaya in Bayou Vista, but it has a Walmart Neighborhood Market, Nintendo World, some hotels, Shoney's, plenty of fast food, dollar stores, a sports complex, a showcase theater and contest hall, a satellite campus of the Louisiana Gulf Battle Academy, a landing strip, a bit of public battle fields, a few car dealerships, some local restaurants and businesses, the Louisiana Water-Type Museum, and a few other things.
* Being surrounded by a lot of water does have its drawbacks as well. Morgan City is one of the most flood-prone cities in the United States as a result, and has suffered considerable to severe damage multiple times from floods and hurricanes.
* A type of blackberry deemed the Youngberry was developed by B.M. Young in 1905 in Morgan City, as a hybrid between a variety of blackberries. The Youngberry is a cross between Luther Burbank’s, Phenomenal Berry, and the Austin-Mayes Dewberry, a trailing blackberry. The Youngberry was introduced commercially in 1926 and quickly came to rival Loganberries. The Youngberry had excellent qualities, such as taste and high yields and it soon replaced the Loganberry of California.
