Ebarb is an unincorporated community in Sabine Parish, Louisiana, United States. It is located along Louisiana Highway 482, west of Zwolle and east of the Toledo Bend Reservoir. The community has a multicultural heritage with strong Spanish, French, and English influences.[2]
The community was named after Dón Antonio Gil y’ Barbo’. He was born in 1729 at Fort Los Adaes in Nueva España (New Spain), and married Maria Padilla (now Paddie). He served as Lieutenant Governor and commander of the militia in Nacogdoches in the late eighteenth century. His parents were Spanish Royalists who arrived from the province of Andalucía, Spain. They were married at the Mission San Antonio de' Valero, a Roman Catholic mission and fortress compound, and site of the Battle of the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas. The family name Ebarb is Spanish. During the late 19th century and early 20th century the name went through various changes: Barbo’, y' Barbo’, Ybarbo’, Ebarbo, and now Ebarb.
