Port Sulfur, Louisiana is a small fishing village located on the west bank of the Mississippi River (near the mouth) in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. Officially, Port Sulfur is not a village or even a town. Instead, it falls under a special classification for unincorporated areas called a census-designated place (CDP).

The town was almost completely destroyed in August of 2005 by Hurricane Katrina. Prior to the storm, Port Sulfur had boasted a population of 3115, however, this number has likely decreased since the 2000 census.

Despite being nearly obliterated and losing a significant portion of the surrounding brackish-water marshes, Port Sulfur continues to offer world-class fishing like can only be found in Southeast Louisiana. Anglers travel to Port Sulfur from all-around the world to experience for themselves why Louisiana is known as the "Sportsman's Paradise".

The marshes around this unique estuary where the Mississippi River drains into the Gulf of Mexico produce some of the best fishing found anywhere in the world. The brackish water provides an extremely fertile habitat for dozens of species of both fresh and saltwater sport fish. The result of this is that you never known what you might catch, as the variety of fish species and sizes adds an element of surprise to the sport that has helped make Port Sulfur a favorite fishing spot for generations.

Port Sulphur is located at [show location on an interactive map] 29°29′40″N, 89°42′45″W (29.494496, -89.712383)[1]. According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 8.5 square miles (22.0 km²), of which, 6.1 square miles (15.7 km²) of it is land and 2.4 square miles (6.3 km²) of it (28.54%) is water. Port Sulphur got its name from the Freeport Sulfur Company in the early 1900s, when it set up drilling, refinery and shipping operations there. The site is a valuable one because of its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, its docking site along the Mississippi River and the surrounding natural resources. Port Sulphur was a company town in every sense of the word. Today, the same buildings are present, although in the 1990s Freeport shut down operations, as the price of sulfur dropped too low due mainly to the by-product of sulfur obtained in petroleum production. With the closing of Freeport (McMoran) Sulfur, the town has been seeking another economic identity. "Port Sulphur, Louisiana." Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. 12 Feb 2008, 05:34 UTC.
