Lincoln Parish was formed in 1873, during the Reconstruction, the decade-long period after the Civil War when the northern states rebuilt much of the devastation wrought on the South. In that spirit, the parish was named after assassinated President Abraham Lincoln. As of 2004, the parish had approximately 42,000 residents.
