History

Belle Alliance is named after the Belle Alliance Plantation[1] located on the east bank of Bayou Lafourche in Assumption Parish, about five miles (8 km) out of Donaldsonville. During the 1770s, this 7,000-acre (28 km²) plot was granted to Don Juan Vives, a physician and military officer of the Spanish government.[2] The actual Belle Alliance Plantation was built by a successful sugar planter Charles Anton Kock, also owner of St. Emma Plantation around 1846.[3]

Today, the site is known as the community of Belle Alliance. The plantation is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
