About 7 miles (11 km) later, LA 35 passes through the city of Rayne, where it runs concurrent with US 90 through the center of town.

Continuing northward, LA 35 passes through the rural community of Branch en route to the town of Church Point. The route zigzags through the center of town, overlapping the route of LA 95. North of Church Point, LA 35 meanders into St. Landry Parish and reaches its northern terminus at US 190 in Lawtell.^[2]

History

Prior to the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering, LA 35 was a road from Amite to Bogalusa via Franklinton. In 1955 the Amite-to-Franklinton segment became part of LA 16, and the Franklinton-to-Bogalusa segment became part of LA 10.

In 1955, Louisiana passed a law that undertook a comprehensive revision to the state highway classification and numbering system. The new system designated roads by importance to travel patterns and rectified the previous numbering system under new unified designations.

Amite City is a town in Tangipahoa Parish, of which it is the parish seat, in southeastern Louisiana, United States. The population was 4,110 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Hammond Micropolitan Statistical Area.

Bogalusa is a city in Washington Parish, Louisiana, United States. The population was 12,232 at the 2010 census. It is the principal city of the Bogalusa Micropolitan Statistical Area, which includes all of Washington Parish and is also part of the larger New Orleans–Metairie–Bogalusa Combined Statistical Area.
