==History==
In 1682, [[René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle|La Salle]] recorded the presence of a village of [[Quinipissa]] peoples in the vicinity of modern-day Hahnville. In the 1700s, German immigrants to the French colony of Louisiana began settling along the Mississippi upriver from New Orleans in what became known as the [[German Coast]]. In the early 1800s, following the [[sale of Louisiana]], the United States established the St. Charles Courthouse in the area and a small community grew up around it. In February 1872, Thomas Sharpe began laying out a village near the courthouse, which he called Flaggville after district judge [[Othelle J. Flagg]]. Around the same time, former governor [[Michael Hahn]], who had a sugar plantation upriver from Flaggville, began dividing his land to found Hahnville. Gradually "Hahnville" became the commonly accepted name for the larger area.<ref>{{Cite web |last=SCMHA |date=January 2000 |title=Hahnville Town History |url=https://scphistory.org/hahnville-town-history/ |access-date=2024-08-30 |website=St. Charles Parish Virtual Museum |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>[https://www.sos.la.gov/HistoricalResources/AboutLouisiana/LouisianaGovernors1861-1877/Pages/MichaelHahn.aspx Michael Hahn], sos.la.gov</ref><ref>Joseph G.
