== Fun facts ==
* Although the parish is typically dominated by Democrats in local elections, it's typically the opposite at the national/statewide level in recent times.
* Catahoula Parish lays claim to its namesake Catahoula Leopard dog breed. The Catahoula breed was owned by Colonel James "Jim" Bowie of the Alamo and his brother Rezin Bowie, both of Louisiana. During the early 1900s, Theodore Roosevelt used the Catahoula when hunting. Louisiana Governor Earl Kemp Long also collected these dogs.
* Larto is the location of Larto Lake, a decent fishing destination that isn't the most popular due to its remote location.
* In 1881, a Jewish agricultural colony was created in Sicily Island. The colony was mostly made up of immigrants from Elizavetgrad who were fleeing the pogroms that began that same year. By 1882, the colony was completely disbanded as the Mississippi River flooded, destroying most farms.
