Louisiana: Waterproof

N 41° 48.086' W 89° 15.796'

Some believe that this northeastern Louisiana village was named for its early relative safety from flooding (predating the construction of the Mississippi River levee system). But another oft-repeated story tells of a steamboat captain who joked about an early settler being waterproof as he stood, surrounded by water, on a strip of land. That land became the original site of the town. Ironically, that location is now underwater, and Waterproof has been forced to move several times due to the whims of the mighty Mississippi River. The most recent relocation in 1880 was thankfully the last.
