The City of Opelousas is located in central St. Landry Parish about 20 miles north of the City of Lafayette. It is the largest city in St. Landry Parish and is considered one of the faster growing cities in the State of Louisiana. It is also rich in history and culture. The third oldest city in Louisiana, Opelousas is home to a diverse culture of Creole and Cajun ancestry. Sounds of Zydeco, Swamp Pop, and Cajun music fill the air. And, don't forget the food -- jambalaya, gumbo, boiled crawfish and shrimp. "Mmmmm, c'est bon!"
