In 1763, the land that is now Rapides Parish became the new home of Apalachee, who were settled there with the permission of Governor Kerlerec. These Native Americans had come to Mobile after fleeing the British and their Creek allies from what is now from Leon County, Florida. Many of their descendants remain in Natchitoches Parish.
