Church Point was incorporated in 1899.
In 1995, the Louisiana State Legislature designated Church Point as the “Cajun Musicians Capitol”. This event occurred because there are over 150 Cajun musicians who live in the community and surrounding area. The Town is also known as the “Buggy Capitol of Louisiana.”
