Politicians of Ouachita
The first people to step foot on Ouchatia Parish was the Europeans in 1541. Ouachita was an expedition of the Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto. The French settlers came to Ouachita around 1720. Aljandro O'Reilly claimed Ouchita Parish for Spain in 1769. A large group of the parish was taken, and only 110 people lived there after. Juan Filihiol found the first European outpost in 1785. It was called Fort Miro and became a city in 1805. In 1819, it was renamed to Oauchita Post and soon grew so big that it later was named Monroe. The first railroad bridge to be built across the Ouachita river was made in 1883. The Monroe natural gas field was discovered in 1916. This is why Monroe was the natural gas capital of the world for some time.
