== Fun facts ==
* Evangeline is the fourth-youngest parish in Louisiana by date of creation.
* People of Canary Islands Spanish heritage can be found to have settled in the Parish, bearing names like Aguillard, Casaneuva, De Soto, Ortego, Rozas, and Segura. Many English colonists that came to collect Louisiana territory married into French families, and some prominently held the surnames of Young, Reed, Langley and Buller.
* Gleanings from old records indicate that Chataignier's first settler was Ursiana Manuel who came from Mexico via New Orleans circa 1793 when Louisiana was a Spanish colony and George Washington was serving as President of the new republic known as the United States of America. The descendents of Ursiana Manuel are still living on the original land grant obtained by him during the Spanish domination of Louisiana. Other early settlers mentioned are Jacques Fontenot, Louis Redan, General Garis de Flaugeac, Artemon Lafleur, and Valentine Savoy. Savoy, incidentally, was the first man to begin the manufacture of spinning wheels in this part of the country. He also operated a large plantation, a cotton gin and a saw mill.
* Pine Prairie is the location of an ICE processing center.
* The 1086TH Transportation Company of the 165TH CSS (Combat Service Support) Battalion resides in Ville Platte. This unit belongs to the 139TH RSG (regional support group).
