!We have a flavored history. We are one ofLouisiana’s oldest communities. Established in 1720 as Le Poste Des Opelousas, our community grew as a center of trade and a crossroads of commerce.  Our history lives on in our historic homes, our town square, and in the museums that celebrate our storied past.
Our music is our spice. We are the world’s capital of Zydeco. The legends of this unique musical style play here each week filling the air with the sounds of the rub board and the accordion.
 Cajun and Swamp Pop round out our musical heritage creating a mix of sounds unlike any in the world.
 Our zest for life is conveyed in our food. From Opelousas come ingredients that are the foundation of Cajun and Creole flavors. It is from here that the tastes of Acadiana have become known worldwide.
 Our roux, boudin, gumbo and seasonings are legendary.  It is through food that we show our warmth, our character, and the richness of our region.
 We are a place of progress where we look to the future with the wisdom of a nearly 300-year history, we are a place of families where day-to-day routines are a celebration of a culture preserved, and we cherish this place and all the ingredients that make us unique.

Walmart is able to move goods to and from distribution centers because we maintain a private fleet of trucks and a skilled staff of truck drivers. We think our team of drivers is the best in the world. They’re part of one of the largest and safest fleets, and every year they drive 1.1 billion miles to make millions of deliveries to our stores and clubs. Each driver averages around 100,000 miles annually-that’s like driving around the world 4 times!

Together with our truck drivers, we’re constantly working to ensure that we’re moving merchandise in responsible, sustainable ways. Drivers follow the most efficient routes to their destinations and work to minimize the number of “empty miles” they drive. This way, we use less fuel, we drive fewer miles and we maximize the merchandise we deliver while minimizing our environmental impact.

Opelousas General Health System (OGHS) has a rich and vibrant history dating back to the 1950s. The heath system is governed under the leadership of a five-member Service District Board, and a nine-member Board of Trustees. The Board is dedicated to providing OGHS patients with state-of-the-art medical care. Achieving this requires constant improvement of medical services and a commitment to the acquisition and implementation of new technology and services. This acquisition of technology, combined with continuing education relative to advanced medical techniques, provides a healing environment typically found in much larger metropolitan areas.
