History of Lake Charles

Lake Charles was founded in 1867 by merchant and lumberman Charpentier de Saint-Malo and named after one of his ancestors, Charles Sallier. The early economy relied heavily on the lumber industry due to the abundance of pine forests in the area. The city grew rapidly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Lake Charles became incorporated as a city in 1910 and emerged as a major port city and industrial hub, with a focus on petrochemical production, shipping, and rice milling.
