History[]

The first inhabitants of the Laborie general area, migrating from South America around 1000 a.c., were probably the Arawak Amerindians. Laborie, a southwestern fishing village named after the French governor Baron De Laborie, was once a turtle habitat. French colonials were probably the first to settle what is now the village of Laborie, in the early 18th century.
