History

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Sabine Parish was created from Natchitoches Parish on March 7, 1843. In April 1843, Sabine gained territory from Caddo Parish but lost land to the creation of Desoto Parish. The parish gained additional territory from Natchitoches in 1854, and lost land to the creation of Vernon Parish in 1871.
