If I remember correctly, this area is a part of the places called the Florida Parishes, and there's a good book 📖 about it called Pistols and Politics.

I was in Franklin and a truck driver wanted to get directions for his delivery sport in Franklinton, he wasn't happy to find out he was in the wrong town.
OHHH NOOOO😂

@@LouisianaDread I need to go out there and see my grandma tell him my grandpa passed last year he was born in 1937 he told me so many good stories
I’m a Thomas and I love north of franklinton close to stateline. My grandpaw said we had family come from the North Carolina area back in the day. Just cool to hear it from someone else
And my name is Delos. Im named after my great grandfather Delos

My Aunt Cleo had a material shop on the corner of one of the main streets in town. Franklinton is also where the State Fair is held every year in mid to late October.
It sure is!
It’s actually the Washington Parish Free Fair. The LA State Fair is held in Shreveport. 😊
@@haleycarraway you are absolutely right! Thank you!
I have family in those parishes. Some most definitely have the Creole accent. Nevertheless, this is a good history lesson. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
I work there 5 days a week. Most have a Mississippi redneck accent. Hell Governor blank stair Blanco thought Washington parish was part of Mississippi during the Hurricane Katrina aftermath.
