Welcome to Sulphur, Louisiana – the place that only sounds like it stinks! Since 1914, Sulphur has been a collection of great neighborhoods and warm people.

We began in the late 1800's as a dominant force in the chemical and mining industry, from which we derived our name, and we continue today as a city on the move with economic growth and local businesses that are thriving. Our sales and property tax revenues, building permits, and population figures are solid and expanding.

Sulphur has excellent schools that prepare our children for the challenges of the next generation, parks and recreation facilities that are second to none, and a historic museum. Our fabulous restaurants, quaint shops and the nationally recognized Creole Nature Trail are just a few of the reasons that life in Sulphur is both exciting and enjoyable.

The real magic of Sulphur is its people. For generations, the spirit of Sulphur has rested with its citizens who put faith, family, and community above all else. Walk our tree-lined streets and meet wonderful people who take pride in their heritage, as well as the future of their city.

Whether you visit us for an afternoon, a week, or a lifetime, you will discover what we have always known - that Sulphur is a great place to live, work, and raise a family.
