Town of La Crosse THROUGH The Years:

John Cellon, a French immigrant, arrives and establishes the first homestead. Families from Georgia and South Carolina soon follow, creating a burgeoning farming community originally named “Rome.”

La Crosse emerges as a bustling cotton trading hub. Merchants such as John E. Futch and Henry Clay Parker establish stores and warehouses, driving growth and enhancing commerce.

The boll weevil devastates cotton crops, prompting farmers to pivot to Irish potatoes, which earns La Crosse the nickname “Potato District.” Crops such as corn, vegetables, and tobacco also flourish.

Residents gather at the Town Hall or the Fire Station while also enjoying the ToLC Recreational Park, which features tennis &basketball courts, playgrounds, and picnic areas. The rural landscape continues to reflect its agricultural roots.
