Lake Charles metropolitan area
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lake Charles metropolitan area, located in the Acadiana region, is composed of Calcasieu and Cameron parishes. Metropolitan Lake Charles is commonly referred to as the Lake Charles Area or the Lake Area, though mention of these "area" terms generally is in reference to most, if not all, of the five parish region of southwest Louisiana.
Southwest Louisiana includes Calcasieu and the three surrounding parishes, along with Allen Parish. These parishes comprise the modern-day geographical counterpart of old Imperial Calcasieu – so-called because of its former vastness prior to the cession of the four adjacent parishes.
