Port Sulphur, LA Real Estate

Port Sulphur is a census-designated place and town located on the West Bank of the Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. The population was 3,115 at the 2000 census. The town was mostly destroyed from Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Port Sulphur is located at 29 °29 40 N, 89 °42 45 W (29.494496, -89.712383) GR1.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 22.0 km (8.5 mi ). 15.7 km (6.1 mi ) of it is land and 6.3 km (2.4 mi ) of it (28.54%) is water.

Port Sulphur got its name from the Freeport Sulfur Company in the early 1900's, when it set up drilling, refinery and shipping operations there. The site is a valuable one because of its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, its docking site along the Mississippi River and the surrounding natural resources. Port Sulphur was a company town in every sense of the word. Today, the same buildings are present, although in the 1990's Freeport shut down operations, as the price of sulfur dropped too low due mainly to the by-product of sulfur obtained in petroleum production. With the closing of Freeport (McMoran) Sulfur, the town has been seeking another economic identity.
