Trinity, Louisiana

Unincorporated community in Catahoula Parish, Louisiana, United States

Trinity is an unincorporated community (and former village) in Catahoula Parish, Louisiana, United States. It is described in a National Register of Historic Places nomination as a historically early community located at the confluence of the Tensas, Ouachita, and Little rivers, near present-day Jonesville.^[1] The area is prone to flooding.^[2]

It was an early thriving community in Catahoula Parish, located at the confluence of the Tensas, Ouachita and Little rivers.^[1] The same source states that Trinity was incorporated as a village in 1850, but that nothing virtually survives of the old community as it developed in the early 20th century as the parish's largest population center.^[1] It has now gone from a municipality to an unincorporated area.

In 1895 a railroad from Vidalia, Louisiana opposite Natchez Louisiana to Trinity was "projected".^[3]

Geography
