Excerpt from St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana: Its Natural Resources and Advantages

The Parish was incorporated in 1807 by Act of Territorial Legislature. The site of the present Courthouse was donated by Vincent Nunez, and after the destruction by fire, of that edifice, the terms of Court were held at the Stock Landing. Later, a new Courthouse was erected on the site of the old one.

Touching the early history of St. Bernard, it should be borne in mind that to Pedro Solis and Mendes this State owes a debt of everlasting gratitude, for having supplanted the unsatisfactory crops of indigo by the imperial staple, sugar - cane.
