Sulphur, LA

Getting to a rich deposit of sulfur under muck and quicksand in the late 1800s was a difficult and often fatal proposition due to high concentrations of deadly hydrogen sulfide gas. However, a new kind of technology allowed Sulphur, LA, to celebrate its first haul of molten sulfur to be brought to the surface on Christmas Eve of 1894.

Industrial-scale mining of sulfur caused a boom in our community throughout the early 20th century, and the addition of a Citgo oil refinery in 1943 provided an additional boost. Today, whenever Sulphur residents aren’t shooing alligators from their front lawns, we spend time enjoying the bounty of bayou nature along the Creole Nature Trail, reliving history in our Brimstone Museum, and taking advantage of the Cal-Cam Fair, one of the state’s oldest.

Technology has a way of making the impossible possible, which is great news for people experiencing the frustration of hearing loss.
