Terry, Louisiana is an unincorporated community in West Carroll Parish in the U.S. state of Louisiana.[1] [2] It is on Louisiana Highway 17 between Kilbourne and Oak Grove, on Tiger Bayou and Coleman Bayou watersheds.[3]
Terry was named after the original purchaser of the land on which it is located, James Terry, who came to the area from neighboring Chicot County, Arkansas in 1835.[1] The land was primarily used for agricultural purposes until 1906, when railroad employees working on a railway right-of-way established a camp on the property that they called "Terry Camp."[1] Commercial development serving the community, including a general store and a cotton gin, followed, and houses and a church were built, forming the community.[1]
