Haynesville is a town in northern Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, United States, located just south of the Arkansas border. The population was 2,327 at the 2010 census. Haynesville is known as the "Gateway to North Louisiana" and the "Butterfly Capital of Louisiana". Loice Kendrick-Lacy of Haynesville has written ''Gardening To Attract Butterflies: The Beauty And The Beast'', released by Sarah Hudson-Pierce's Ritz Publications of Shreveport. The book begins with Kendrick-Lacy as a young girl, when she was introduced to butterflies by her grandmother.〔Loice Kendrick-Lacy was interviewed in 2012 by Donna LaFleur on Louisiana Public Broadcasting's "Authors in Shreveport" feature at the Louisiana State Exhibit Museum.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Loice Kendrick-Lacy )〕 ==History== Haynesville was settled in 1818. The community took the name "Haynesville" in 1843 from farmer Samuel Haynes of Georgia, who established Old Haynesville some two miles south of the present site of the town. In 1898, the whole town moved north to meet the railroad, now the Louisiana and Northwest Railroad.〔"Haynesville: Gateway to North Louisiana", brochure from www.haynesvillela.com〕 Modern Haynesville was built on a 1920s petroleum boom, one of the largest in Louisiana. For a time, the population reached twenty thousand.〔 The "old boom town" was constructed in what is called Baucum Spur. It consisted of a hotel, restaurants, and saloons. The Haynesville economy is supported still by oil as well as hunting, fishing, and timber, with considerable logging and pulpwood production in the area.〔 Haynesville has a variety of churches, including Baptist, United Methodist, Presbyterian, Missionary Baptist, Pentecostal, and Church of Christ. Material on the history of Haynesville can be found at the Herbert S. Ford Memorial Museum located across from the Claiborne Parish Courthouse in Homer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Haynesville, Louisiana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
