NICHOLLS STATE UNIVERSITY, located in Thibodaux, is a comprehensive, regional university serving south central Louisiana and beyond. since 1948. The 287-acre campus, once part of historic Acadia Plantation, fronts on Bayou Lafourche, 50 miles southwest of New Orleans and 60 miles southeast of Baton Rouge.
BAYOU LAFOURCHE is the name French explorers gave to a waterway they found branching off of the Mississippi River about 60 miles upstream from New Orleans near present day Donaldsonville.
Bayou Lafourche, which wends its way 100 miles from the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico, was first home to the Chitimacha Indians. Its original name was Lafourche des Chetimachas.
In the late 1700s, it became a popular settling place for the Acadians, French nationals who had settled in the Acadia region of Canada before they were expelled by the British. Others came to the region and their cultures, including French, Indian, Spanish, African and Italian, blended to form a unique community along Bayou Lafourche, one that is today known as "The Longest Street in America."
