History

It was an early thriving community in Catahoula Parish, located at the confluence of the Tensas, Ouachita and Little rivers. [1] The same source states that Trinity was incorporated as a village in 1850, but that nothing virtually survives of the old community as it developed in the early 20th century as the parish's largest population center. [1] It has now gone from a municipality to an unincorporated area.

In 1895 a railroad from Vidalia, Louisiana opposite Natchez Louisiana to Trinity was "projected". [3]

Geography

Trinity is in the southern part of Catahoula Parish, in the vicinity of the confluence area where the Tensas, Ouachita, and Little rivers meet near Jonesville. [1]
