Red River Parish (French: Paroisse de la Rivière-Rouge) is a parish located in the U.S. state of Louisiana. Its seat is Coushatta. It was one of the newer parishes created in 1871 by the state legislature under Reconstruction. The plantation economy was based on cotton cultivation, highly dependent on enslaved labor before the American Civil War.
In 1880, the parish had a population with more than twice as many blacks as whites.1890, accessed 25 Apr 2008 They were essentially disfranchised after the white Democrats regained power in the state in the late 1870s. Most of the former slaves worked as sharecroppers and laborers, cultivating cotton. Due to mechanization of agriculture, many blacks left the parish during the mid-20th century Great Migration to seek better opportunities elsewhere. By 2000, the parish population was 9,622, with a white majority.
