Broussard LA Homes For Sale

Broussard LA originally named Cote Gelee (Frozen Hills) because of its hilly ridge area and the severe winter of 1784.  Broussard LA was founded in 1884…named after Valsin Broussard, a prominent local merchant, who formed the first Vigilante Committee when his own store was robbed.  He was also a direct descendant of Joseph Gaurhept Broussard de Beau Soleil, one of the first 200 Acadians to arrive in Louisiana on February 27, 1765 aboard the Santo Domingo. 

Primary agricultural resources include sugarcane, soybean and hay production as well as horse and cattle farming.  Principal industries consist of oil and gas service companies, food distributors, real estate developments and manufacturing.

 Broussard LA has gone from a horse and buggy community, with large sugarcane plantation homes, to a current day industrial community with over 300 businesses.  Yet, one still experiences its charm though the atmosphere of elegant dining.  Creole home cooking and cajun food at our local restaurants.
