Madisonville was founded in 1800 by Jean Baptiste Baham, but the city was renamed to honor James Madison in 1810. At the time, he was the President of the United States. It was previously called Coquille due to the abundance of seashells found on the shores of the town.

Madisonville is a picturesque town that looks as if it’s pulled straight out of a landscape painting. One of the most awe-inspiring attractions is the Madisonville Lighthouse. The lighthouse was built in 1837. At one time it was accessible by land, but since the route was destroyed in 1965 by Hurricane Betsy, the lighthouse can only be reached by boat. When it was in use, the lights from this lighthouse could be seen for 11 miles.

This cozy little town that overlooks the lake has fine restaurants, antique shops, gift shops, specialty boutiques, and many successful businesses. The community is dedicated to preserving the rich historical heritage of the area. For this reason, many of the homes are restored. New construction in Madisonville stays true to the spirit of the town.

Boating and fishing are two favorite pastimes in this area of Louisiana. It’s usual to see boats gliding up and down the lake. Restaurants that serve the freshest seafood are located along the shores of the lake. Residents enjoy breathtaking views of the water no matter where they are in town.

Visiting the Madisonville Museum, located in the historic courthouse, provides a look at many artifacts from the area’s wildlife and indian culture. The courthouse was built in 1911 and is on the National Registry of Historic Places. There is a giant oak tree that shares that honor with the museum.

One thing that is notable about Madisonville is the strong sense of community. The residents of this charming town are genuine, hard-working, friendly people who have been through difficult times together and remain strong as a community because of those times. Hurricane Katrina caused an incredible amount of damage to Madisonville, some of which is still being repaired, but it could not extinguish the determination and pride of the residents.
