Eros, Louisiana

Eros is a town in Jackson Parish, Louisiana, United States.

[2] Eros served as a center point for a number of small surrounding communities, such as Hog Hair, Jumping Vernon, Indian Village, Salem Guyton, Flat Creek, Head Settlement, Vernon, Fuller Town, and Bug Tussle.

[3] Naturally by 1920, the town became the largest in the Jackson Parish, with "a thousand residents, having a post office, three hotels, a newspaper, a company commissary, three doctors, a drug store, three churches, a jail, a bank, its own telephone exchange and Jackson Parish's first high school with six hundred pupils" (Busbice, 6).

After that, the mill company felt that most of the timber had been harvested anyway, and moved their center of operation to Olla, Louisiana.

[5] According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 1.0 square mile (2.6 km2), all land.
