Editing Addis, Louisiana (section)

==History==
Founded in 1881 or 1882, Addis was originally known '''Baton Rouge Junction'''; the community was created as a division point for the [[Texas and Pacific Railroad]]. ''Circa'' 1909, local citizens renamed the village to Addis to honor J. W. Addis, the railroad official who had convinced the railroad to build a depot, hotel, and other facilities there in 1904.<ref name=crt>{{cite web|title=Bank of Addis|url=http://www.crt.state.la.us/dataprojects/hp/nhl/attachments/Parish61/Scans/61003001.pdf|publisher=Louisiana Office of Cultural Development|accessdate=January 25, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160201004759/http://www.crt.state.la.us/dataprojects/hp/nhl/attachments/Parish61/Scans/61003001.pdf|archive-date=February 1, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Leeper|first=Clare D'Artois|title=Louisiana Place Names: Popular, Unusual, and Forgotten Stories of Towns, Cities, Plantations, Bayous, and Even Some Cemeteries|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZHeeUa0xNxcC&pg=PA10|date=October 19, 2012|publisher=LSU Press|isbn=978-0-8071-4740-5|page=10}}</ref>
