Welsh, Louisiana
Welsh is a town in Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana. As of the 2020 census, Welsh had a population of 3,333. It is part of the Jennings Micropolitan Statistical Area.
Welsh was originally a homestead owned by Miles Welsh, a Pennsylvania man who went to Louisiana to seek a warmer climate for his health. He died in 1868, but his son Henry built a cabin on the current-day town site. The home sat along the main stagecoach route across south Louisiana, and Welsh's home and store was the primary stop for travelers between New Iberia and Texas. In 1880, Welsh donated right-of-way to the Louisiana Western Rail Road (later Southern Pacific), which built a station. The town of Welsh was platted in 1880 and incorporated on March 15, 1888, with Henry Welsh elected its first mayor a few months before his death that October. Initially part of the old Imperial Calcasieu Parish, in 1913 Welsh became part of the newly established Jefferson Davis Parish.
