Louisiana on the map
Louisiana has 64 parishes, the 24th most of any state (tied with one other). The largest is Vernon, with 1,327 sq mi of land, and the smallest is Orleans, with 170 sq mi: Vernon is about 8 times bigger.
The state capital, Baton Rouge, is in East Baton Rouge Parish. The capital version marks it on the map.
East Baton Rouge Parish is the most populous, with 456,180 people in 2025, or 10% of the state. The least populous is Tensas, with 3,700. Since 2020, Livingston has grown the fastest (+9.0%) and Cameron has lost the most (−16.0%).
In Louisiana, counties are called parishes, after the Catholic church parishes of French and Spanish colonial times. They work just like counties elsewhere.
What each parish borders
Assumption borders the most parishes in the state: 8 (Ascension, Iberia, Iberville, Lafourche, St. James, St. Martin, St. Mary, and Terrebonne).
23 parishes touch another state. 10 border Mississippi: Concordia, East Carroll, East Feliciana, Madison, St. Helena, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Tensas and 2 more. 8 border Arkansas: Bossier, Caddo, Claiborne, East Carroll, Morehouse, Union, Webster, and West Carroll. 7 border Texas: Beauregard, Caddo, Calcasieu, Cameron, De Soto, Sabine, and Vernon.
11 parishes are on the coast: Cameron, Iberia, Jefferson, Lafourche, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Mary, St. Tammany, Terrebonne, and Vermilion. 32 parishes are fully inland, with no coast and no border with another state or country.
Number key
Numbers follow alphabetical order, from 1 (Acadia) to 64 (Winn). Area is land area, without lakes or sea, and population is the Census estimate for July 1, 2025; “Borders” counts neighboring parishes in the same state.
