False River, Louisiana

False River (French: Fausse Rivière) was an unincorporated community located in southern Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, United States.

It was situated near present-day New Roads and the current lake of False River.

In February 1858 a post office was established in the small community known as False River; however, it was short-lived.

During the Civil War, the area was used as an encampment for Union troops.

The spelling of the town's name was sometimes written as "New Rhodes" in early maps and publications.
