Colfax, Louisiana is the county seat of Grant Parish. Officials formed the parish on March 4, 1869, and they named it after Ulysses Grant. Before officials began the parish, there were several large plantations in this area, including ones owned by Meredith Calhoun and Peter Hickman. Trees covered the gently rolling hills, and lumber was an essential industry.
Today, the community has about 2,200 residents. Most of them commute to Alexandria or other nearby communities to work. The Red River forms the western boundary of Grand Parish, and it is a terrific place to go fishing and boating.
You will want to stop at Darrell’s Restaurant for a great cup of coffee and a good hamburger or stop at Café de Landon to get one of their blue-plate specials, like meatloaf, fried pork chops, or fried catfish.
