Louisiana was founded by the Spanish and French governments which were mostly Roman Catholic. Louisiana was broken up into "church" parishes. Later on, counties were added and some of the parishes became counties, but the boundaries of the "county" lines were rather changeable. So, later on, the parishes were reinstated.
