which I believe is Louisiana's only non-contiguous parish, can one drive from St. Martinville to the southeastern part of the parish (Stephensville) without leaving the Parish?

No - you pass through the extreme eastern part of Iberia on some forgotten state highway

Wikipedia says St. Martin was cut in two by a surveying error when Iberia Parish was created in 1868. I'm wondering why that was never corrected.

Arcane stuff like this fascinates me.

They don't want to lose oil & gas revenue.

LA997, I always thought it was funny while driving from Belle River to Bayou Pigeon to see "Entering Iberia Parish" so far away from New Iberia.

The answer is greater access to a New Iberia haircut.


On another note, I've always thought the outline of Iberia Parish looks like the head of a sandpiper or a seagull. Anyone see it?

Grand Isle is in Jefferson Parish.

That's pretty damn non-contiguous.
