About Thibodaux (Louisiana)
Known as the Queen City of Lafourche, Thibodaux is like a classic Cajun community, big on fishing and reasons to party. What started as a little trading village near the juncture of Bayou Terrebonne and Bayou Lafourche became an incorporated town centered around sugar cane production in 1830. The temperamental Confederate General Braxton Bragg lived near here, and, during the Civil War, Thibodaux was one of those towns that went back and forth between occupying forces. Later in the 19th century, unfortunate events pertaining to dissolving unionization of sugar cane workers, largely consisting of African Americans, resulted in some 35 being killed and a return to essential disenfranchisement in what is known as the Thibodaux Massacre. Thibodaux took a bit of a sucker punch from Hurricane Id
