White Castle trip planner

White Castle a town in Iberville Parish, Louisiana, in the United States. As of the 2000 census, the town population was 1,946.HistoryWhite Castle, the town, was carved out of the George Wailes plantation, "White Castle". The 1883 Charles H. Dickinson Survey of several parishes of Louisiana shows the White Castle Plantation property. Nearby is the opulent antebellum mansion called Nottoway.White Castle was established as a town in the early 1900s, with the influx of people and business brought by the logging industry in the cypress swamps of the area. When the cypress wood was depleted, the main economic activity reverted to the sugar cane industry which had been established in the 19th century.Individual plantation sugar mills gave way to larger mills servicing many plantations. By 1970, White Castle had three major sugar mills, Cora-Texas, Cedar Grove, and Catherine/Supples. Only one, Cora-Texas located just south of White Castle on LA 1, is still in operation. Plantations in the area are Nottoway, Belle Grove (defunct), and Laurel Ridge among others.
