Pointe à la Hache is an unincorporated village and place in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, United States. [1] [2] Located on the east bank of the Mississippi River, the village has been the seat for Plaquemines Parish since the formation of the parish.

History

During January 12, 2002 the parish courthouse was severely damaged by arson. Since then, the parish government has used several temporary buildings in Belle Chasse. The Plaquemines Parish Council has proposed to move the parish seat three times, but all were rejected by the voters.

Pointe à la Hache was severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina at the end of August, 2005.
