Bayou Lafourche

Bayou Lafourche, originally called Chetimachas River〔("Course Of The River , from the Balise to Fort Chartres. Ross, Lieut. 1775" rumsey.geogarage.com )〕 or La Fourche des Chetimaches, (the fork of the Chitimacha), is a 〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed June 20, 2011〕 bayou in southeastern Louisiana, United States, that flows into the Gulf of Mexico. The bayou is between Louisiana Highway 1 on the west, and Louisiana Highway 308 on the east and is known as "the longest Main Street in the world." It flows through parts of Ascension, Assumption, and Lafourche parishes. Today, approximately 300,000 Louisiana residents drink water drawn from the bayou.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bayou Lafourche Fresh Water District )
==History==
The name Lafourche is from the French for "the fork", and alludes to the bayou's large outflow of Mississippi River water. The first settlements of Acadians in southern Louisiana were near Bayou Lafourche and Bayou des Écores, which led to a close association of the bayou with Cajun culture.
It was formerly a Mississippi River outlet (distributary), but was dammed at Donaldsonville in 1905. The dam cut off nourishment and replenishment of a huge wetland area of central Louisiana. It changed the formerly flowing bayou into a stagnant ditch.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism )
The Bollinger Shipyards, founded by Donald G. Bollinger, was launched on Bayou Lafourche in 1946.
