Henderson

Henderson has served as a waterside settlement in Acadiana since the nineteenth century. In St. Martin Parish, the town lies on the eastern margin of the Atchafalaya Basin, the broad floodplain associated with the Atchafalaya River. Henderson Lake and a network of bayous, cypress swamps and seasonally flooded woods shape the area, making water routes as central to local life as roads. Fishing and boating remain closely tied to this wetland setting. Henderson belongs to Cajun Country, where French-influenced food, music and community traditions remain an important part of regional identity. Interstate 10 crosses the basin nearby, linking the area with Lafayette and Baton Rouge while Henderson retains a distinctly rural scale.
