Hackley is an unincorporated community in Washington Parish, Louisiana, United States. The community is located 92NaN2 N of Franklinton, Louisiana.
It is speculated that the name of the community is derived from the surname of Charles Hackley a timber baron that owned over 200,000 acres of land in Louisiana.[1]
Between 1892 and 1922 there was a 26.52NaN2 railroad built by the Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Company that ran from Kentwood, Louisiana and terminated at Hackley.[2] The railroad was leased and operated by the Kentwood and Eastern Railway.
