== History ==
Fort Bute or Manchac Post, named after the then British Prime Minister John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute, was established in 1763 at the junction of Iberville River (Bayou Manchac) with the Mississippi River, and remained an important military and trading post in British West Florida until captured by Spanish forces under Bernardo Galvez of Louisiana (New Spain) on September 7, 1779, during what became known as Battle of Fort Bute of the American Revolutionary War. Manchac was raided in February 1778 by American forces under the command of James Willing〔Arthur H. DeRosier, Jr.: ''(William Dunbar: scientific pioneer of the old Southwest )'', University Press of Kentucky, Lexington, Ky., 2007, pp. 39-44〕—see related articles, Continental Marines and USS Morris (1778).
Manchac was one of the originally-planned stations along the railroad, generally at intervals of 10 miles. Akers' father, William Akers, was the first mayor of Ponchatoula, the station to the north of Manchac. Manchac straddles the railway, which is, at the start of the 21st century, part of the Canadian National Railway system.
