== Fun facts ==
* St. Mary has the highest percentage of Cajuns in the Acadiana region.
* Morgan City's Walmart Supercenter is located in Bayou Vista, along with a few other businesses.
* Charenton is home to the only remaining community of Chitimacha Indians. The Chitimacha operate a museum, fish processing plant and school on the reservation. In addition, what began as a bingo operation grew into a lucrative casino that operates on the tribe's land in Charenton. Revenue from the Cypress Bayou casino has provided the Chitimacha with funds used to recover land historically part of the reservation. Consequently, land that had dwindled to just 260 acres (1.1 km2) has now swelled to over a thousand acres (4 km²). The Chitimacha are an important part of Charenton's history as well as a major part of the current community.
* Multiple times in its history has St. Mary been declared a disaster area due to damage from flooding or hurricanes.
