Ah, DeQuincy, a hidden gem in the heart of Louisiana, founded back in 1897. This small town of roughly 3,144 residents boasts a rich history, once being a major hub for the timber industry in the late 19th century. Known for its charming Main Street lined with historic buildings and antique shops, DeQuincy offers a glimpse into the past while also embracing modern art and culture. Fun fact: DeQuincy has a sister city relationship with the town of Ermont in France, adding an international flair to its Southern charm.
