Brittany, Louisiana

Brittany is an unincorporated community in Ascension Parish, Louisiana, in the United States.

Around 1907 the LR&N railroad was built and a flag stop was made in this community.

Around the time the post office was established, a small sawmill called "Hopper's" was built in the 5th ward (Ascension Parish), and a spur line from the railroad to the mill was laid to haul logs and lumber to and from the mill.

For a number of years, there were Catholic, Baptist, and Latter-day Saint churches in Brittany.

All three no longer stand, though the Latter-day Saint chapel was eventually replaced and relocated to Louisiana Highway 30 in Brittany.

[3] Some of the early settlers were Joseph Richardson, Charles G. Fridge, John Paxton, S. S. Ferguson, William Hurst, W. W. Hodgeson, Aidy Hudson, Joseph Brignac, Eugene Causey, J. J. Gonzales, Mike and Jim Savario, George W. Rice, Ernest Floyd, E. Clouatre, and Rene Bercegeay.

There are Christian Assembly, Lutheran, Divine Grace, and Latter-Day Saints meeting houses in Brittany.
