Living in Denham Springs, LA

Denham Springs is part of the Livingston Parish, one of the gems of the southern bayous of Louisiana. One of the most interesting reasons why this area has become so popular over the centuries is due to its proximity to groundwater springs on the property of one of the original settlers, William Denham - hence the city's name. The innovation of the railroad brought regular stops to Denham Springs, expanding the city's population and business growth.

However, since Baton Rouge's sprawl in recent decades, Denham Springs has largely become a bedroom community. According to City-Data, the area has seen a lot of growth in recent years, increasing its population by more than 17 percent from 2000 to 2010.
