Bob Acres, Louisiana


Bob Acres is a small unincorporated community in rural Iberia Parish, Louisiana, United States. It was established as a train station by American actor Joseph Jefferson, who owned nearby Orange Island, an inland salt dome that only appeared to be an island from a distance. Jefferson named Bob Acres after a character in The Rivals, one of the plays in which the actor appeared. It is also home to the legendary Langlinais family.
