East Krotz Springs, Louisiana

East Krotz Springs is a ghost town that was located in Pointe Coupee Parish's 1st Ward, approximately 12 miles west of Livonia, Louisiana, United States.

United States Geological Survey maps from 1948 show the town to be located on the east bank of the Atchafalaya River at the mouth of Bayou Sherman, directly across from Krotz Springs, south of the railroad bridge.

[1] East Krotz Springs was originally known as Latania and was the site of lumbering operations in the early 1900s.

The Atchafalaya River levee broke at Latania in 1912 and 1913, flooding the southern part of Pointe Coupee Parish.

East Krotz Springs is subject to being flooded again if the control structure gates are ever opened.
