Moreauville, LA

Moreauville is an Avoyelles Parish village in central Louisiana, established in 1904 and incorporated soon afterward. The 2020 census counted 984 residents. The village sits along Bayou Des Glaises, a navigable waterway whose levee and road corridor helped shape the settlement’s long, narrow map. Moreauville is part of the rural Avoyelles landscape between the parish’s larger towns, with homes, churches, schools, and small businesses gathered around the bayou and village streets.

The Louisiana Farm Festival and 4-H give Moreauville its biggest recurring community gathering, bringing agriculture and youth programs into the same local calendar. Village offices operate from Town Hall on Bayou Des Glaises, keeping government close to the water that names and frames the place. The parish’s farms and levee roads still keep the village connected to neighboring communities. Moreauville is a small central Louisiana village whose character comes from a bayou crossing, farm families, parish roads, and an annual celebration that turns agricultural work into a shared event.
