Jefferson, Louisiana, is what's known as a “census-designated place” (CDP), the name given by the U.S. Census Bureau to an area where the population is concentrated enough to be considered for the purpose of compiling statistics. CDPs unusually center around one small, unincorporated community, which gives the area its name. In this case, Jefferson is the center of Jefferson Parish.

French and Spanish heritage


Almost from the founding of the nation, the Mississippi River was recognized for its strategic importance, and the lands around it were known for their fertile soil. The Spanish and French made land grants in what became the area around New Orleans, and those grants were the basis for the parish system in effect in Louisiana.

Jefferson Parish, which is named for Thomas Jefferson, was founded in 1825. Once largely a rural area devoted to dairy farms and undeveloped land, the parish today is a “bedroom community” providing housing for people who work in New Orleans.

Communities often look to their past to guide their future; in this case, history's caretakers are members of the Jefferson Historical Society of Louisiana, who work to safeguard the events, places, and people that have gone to make up the history of the parish. Organizations like this can work with brochure printers to create booklets that explain not only the way the organization works and its mission, but also the records they have on hand. They can also work with a catalog printing company to create an extensive, more detailed record of their holdings.

Things to do


Jefferson Parish is dotted with parks such as Avondale Park, Huey P. Long Park, and Lafreniere Park. The latter has been nurtured for more than 30 years, and now offers green space, picnic areas, fountains, gardens, hills, a carousel, and a jogging trail that winds for two miles through the park, among many other amenities. The facility is always growing, and picnic shelters and a labyrinth are planned.

Parks are wonderful places for company picnics, family gatherings, fairs, and celebrations. They also offer a place for people to simply get outside and enjoy nature.

Event organizers often work with banner printing companies who can create sturdy banners suitable for outdoor use. Banners today are usually printed on vinyl, making them long-lasting, and durable enough to be reused. They can mark the start and end of race courses, or simply add a festive air to a party.

Once people have enjoyed themselves outside, they might consider some “retail therapy,” and visit one of the malls in the parish, such as Oakwood Center or The Esplanade. Centers like these are made up of a number of stores, each of which strives to attract customers who will purchase their goods and services. Companies can reach out to potential buyers by working with flyer printing companies to create handouts describing special offers. Flyers imply a limited-time offer, and help to create urgency in a customer's mind.

Companies can also work with a poster printing company, asking them to create an attractive advertisement that can be used in a window, or place outside the door. The aim once again is to invite people to enter the store and explore for themselves.

Jefferson has a great deal to offer visitors and residents alike.
