History

Formed in 1844 from Carroll Parish and Ouachita Parish

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

Morehouse Parish was created from Carroll and Ouachita parishes and named after Abraham Morehouse. The parish gained territory from Ouachita in 1847 and from Carroll in 1858, then lost territory to the creation of Richland Parish in 1868.
