About Fordoche, LA

In 1854, the first post office was established at Fordoche, with Thomas Farrar designated as its first postmaster. There are two conflicting stories about how the town's name was derived. One story is that it received its name from a Caddo Indian word meaning "wild animal lair" (i.e., the bed of a wild beast) and the other suggests that it is named after a Louisiana French term for underbrush found in bayou bottom. At least two American Civil War battles were fought in and around Fordoche. The Battle of Fordoche Bridge was fought in September 1863.
