The English Turn was the result of Détour des Anglais telling the English that there was a very well settled French colony along the river, so the English believed him and turned around never again to return. Which is why it is called the English Turn.
AnswerSo named because in this bend, 1699, Bienville, coming downstream, met the British who had come up river to choose site for a settlement. Bienville convinced Captain Lewis Banks that the territory was in possession of the French. Early concessions were established in the vicinity. (Louisiana Historical Marker)
