Welsh, LA

After the War Between the States, Confederate Army soldier Henry Welsh homesteaded a piece of ground between Iowa and Jennings, donating a railroad right-of-way to the Southern Pacific Railroad in order to build a section house and depot. Similar to surrounding communities, the majority of settlers in the area came from the Midwest to grow rice and cattle, which was the main economic activity until oil was discovered in the 1930s.

Moving forward in the 21st century, Welsh is a stopping-off point along I-10 between Lake Charles and Lafayette, but our community is more than that. We are a rural community dedicated to preserving the Cajun and old south traditions of our ancestors and providing a safe environment to raise a family.

Rather than feeling connected to family, friends, and their community, those with hearing loss often feel disconnected, unable to share the abundance of knowledge and experience they’ve gained throughout their lifetime.
