History

Formed in 1870 from Calcasieu Parish and Vermilion Parish

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Cameron Parish was created on March 15, 1870, from Calcasieu Parish and Vermilion Parish. The parish was named after Simon Cameron. In 1954, Cameron Parish's boundary was extended three marine leagues into the Gulf of Mexico to align with the gulfward boundary of Louisiana.
