Simmesport Centennial Plaque Installed

Mr. Wayne Coco, Architect and long-time resident, came to the Simmesport Town Hall today to install the commemorative plaque celebrating the centennial founding of Simmesport. Installing the plaque were Mr. Eric Rusk, former mayor, and his two sons, Owen and Ethan. Many thanks to Eric and his crew for the installation. The plaque is a beautiful reminder that Simmesport has endured for 100 years as an incorporated municipality! Another special thanks to Mr. Wayne Coco who spearheaded the celebration with the help of the Simmesport Historical Society, R.I.S.E., dedicated townspeople and generous present and past residents.

On October 9, 2025, the Simmesport Historical Society hosted a program to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Simmesport’s incorporation as a village in 1925. The wonderful event was held at the Simmesport Public Library and attended by townspeople, former public officials and their families as well as parish, state and national politicians. The Town of Simmesport would especially like to thank Mr. Wayne Coco for spearheading the event. A warm thank you also to all the members of the steering committee, RISE, and those individuals and businesses who sponsored the event. A video of the event can be seen by clicking the link below.
