Negreet is an unincorporated community in Sabine Parish, Louisiana, United States.
Negreet was founded in 1822 and families began settling in sizeable numbers as the completion of nearby Fort Jesup brought the once lawless "Neutral Strip" under control.
[2] The community flourished with farms and plantations until the Civil War, which devastated the area and displaced many of its residents.
[3] In January 2014, the ACLU filed suit against the Sabine Parish School Board, Superintendent Sara Erarb, Principal Gene Wright and teacher Rita Roark of Negreet High School, alleging officials at one of its schools harassed a sixth-grader because of his Buddhist faith and that the district routinely pushes Christian beliefs upon their students.
[8][9] This climatic region is typified by large seasonal temperature differences, with warm to hot (and often humid) summers and cold (sometimes severely cold) winters.
