== History ==
''Le Poste de Pointe Coupée'' ("the Pointe Coupée Post" or Cut Point Post) is one of the oldest communities in the [[Mississippi River Valley]] established by [[Western Europe|European]] colonists. The [[trading post]] was founded in the 1720s by settlers from [[France]]. It was located upstream from the point crossed by explorers, immediately above but not circled by [[False River (Louisiana)|False River]]. The name referred to the area along the [[Mississippi River]] northeast of what is now New Roads.

The post was initially settled by native [[French people|French]], as well as [[French language|French-speaking]] [[Louisiana Creole people|Creoles]] born in the [[Louisiana (New France)|colony]]. Additional ethnically French settlers migrated down the Mississippi River from [[Fort de Chartres]], [[Illinois Country|Upper Louisiana]]. The colonists imported numerous [[Africa]]n [[history of slavery|slaves]] from the [[French West Indies]] ([[Guadeloupe]], [[Martinique]], [[Saint-Domingue]]), and many directly from Africa, as workers for the [[plantations in the American South|plantations]].

Historian [[Gwendolyn Midlo Hall]] discovered extensive [[New France|French]] and [[New Spain|Spanish]] documentation of the early [[slavery in the United States|slave trade]], which provided more information than is usually available as to the ethnicity and names of [[history of slavery in Louisiana|individual slaves]], all in the [[court house]] at New Roads. Using this and other research, she has produced "The Louisiana Slave Database and the Louisiana Free Database: 1719–1820," which is searchable on line.

===Commandants of Pointe Coupee (1729–1762)===
*1729: Chevalier Henri du Loubois
*1731: Jean Baptiste François Tisserand de Moncharvaux
*1734–38: Claude Joseph de Favrot
*1738–1742: Jean Louis Richard de la Houssaye
*1742–1744: Claude Joseph de Favrot
*1744–1753: Jean Joseph Delfau de Pontalba, a relative by marriage of [[Micaela Almonester, Baroness de Pontalba]], the [[New Orleans]] native who in the mid-19th century built the [[Pontalba Buildings]] and redesigned [[Jackson Square, New Orleans|Jackson Square]].
*1753: Chevalier Morlière
*1753–1756: Francois Artaud
*1756–1759: Pierre Benoist, Sieur Payen de Noyan de Chavoy
*1759–1762: Jean Louis Richard de la Houssaye

=== Spanish rule ===
After several floods, Governor [[Luis de Unzaga]] in 1772 moved the European settlement from Pointe Coupee to a new post, the so-called Post Unzaga. Recently, historians Frank Cazorla and J. David Polo, from the Louis de Unzaga Historical Society research team, using satellite [[remote sensing]] techniques and comparative plans from the [[General Archive of the Indies]], have managed to locate the position of the Unzaga post, which included, along with it, a parish. Unfortunately after the slave rebellion of 1795 this settlement was left uninhabited.<ref>Cazorla, Frank, The governor Louis de Unzaga (1717-1793) Pioneer in birth of the United States of America and in Liberalism, Foundation Malaga, 2019, pages 58, 133</ref>

After Great Britain defeated France in the [[Seven Years' War]] (also known as the [[French and Indian War]] in North America), France ceded this territory to Spain. About 1776, the Spanish built a ''Chemin Neuf'', French for "New Road," connecting the Mississippi River with [[False River (Louisiana)|False River]], a {{convert|22|mi|km|adj=on}} long [[oxbow lake]] and formerly the main channel of the Mississippi.<ref name=Costello2010>{{Cite book|last=Costello |first=Brian J. |date=2010 |title=A History of Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana |publisher=Margaret Media |isbn=9780982455111}}</ref>

In 1791, the Mina (an African people) [[slave rebellion|slave uprising]], the [[Mina (Louisiana)|Mina Conspiracy]], started on the estate of Widow Robillard at New Roads. Three years later, there was another area slave revolt near [[Point Coupee, Louisiana|Point Coupee]], the [[History of slavery in Louisiana#Pointe Coupée conspiracy|Pointe Coupée Conspiracy]].<ref name=Costello2010 />

=== Louisiana Purchase ===
In 1803 the United States made the [[Louisiana Purchase]], and the territory became part of the United States. In-migration of American settlers increased, changing Louisiana culture.

In 1822, Catherine Dispau (a [[free people of color|free woman of color]] called ''"La Fille Gougis"'') made a four or six block subdivision out of her False River plantation. This was located at the terminus of a "new road" linking False River with the older Mississippi River settlement to the north.  This is the area now bounded by West Main, New Roads, West Second and St. Mary Streets. The latter was named for St. Mary's Catholic Church, founded in 1823. The community was referred to variously as the "village of St. Mary" or Chemin Neuf.<ref name=Costello2010 />

The founding of the church helped the community develop. In 1847, New Roads was named as the seat of Pointe Coupée Parish, and a courthouse was built. Between these "strong celestial poles," the Main Street business district developed. After the abandonment of the competing parish port of [[Waterloo, Louisiana|Waterloo]] during 1882–84 due to flooding, New Roads became the major commercial port and city of Pointe Coupée Parish. The railroad reached the city in 1898–99, bringing much industrial development.<ref name=Costello2010 />

The official name of the community changed frequently during the years after Louisiana became part of the United States. The first post office was established in 1858 as "False River," but it was discontinued in 1861. When the town was incorporated by the state legislature in 1875, it was named "New Roads." But, in 1878, when the post office reopened, it was named "St. Mary's." In 1879, the city and post office name was changed to New Roads. The old incorporation fell into disuse. The city was reincorporated in 1892, and received its charter two years later. Several names were proposed, among them "St. Mary" and "Rose Lake."  But "New Roads" was finally chosen, although it was often misspelled "New Rhodes."<ref name=Costello2010 />

Since its founding, New Roads has been the hub of an agricultural community that cultivated [[commodity crop]]s of sugar cane, cotton, and pecans, among others. Today, the economy has grown to support large industries such as healthcare and social assistance, construction, and retail facilities.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://datausa.io/profile/geo/new-roads-la/#economy|title=New Roads, LA|work=Data USA|access-date=2018-01-31}}</ref>

==Geography==

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of {{Convert|4.6|sqmi}}, all land.

Gradually sloping from a high of {{convert|36|ft|m}} above sea level on Main Street immediately adjacent to False River to a low of {{convert|25|ft|m}} along Portage Canal in the north, the city lies on a Mississippi River flood-plain but has never flooded to any great extent since 1912. Levee breaks or "crevasses" on the Mississippi River to the north and east overbanked False River and submerged all of New Roads in 1867, 1882 and 1884. The 1882 flood was the most severe, with four feet of water standing in Main Street during the height of the crisis. During the floods of 1912 and 1927, however, the southern portion of the town, including the main business district, remained dry, as the flood waters to the north and east were held back by the Texas & Pacific Railroad embankment. Mid-city flooding had periodically occurred during hurricanes and other heavy rainfall events due to the overbanking of the Portage Canal, the lowest part of the city.<ref>Costello, Brian J.

== Government ==
From 1960 to 1978, the mayor of New Roads was William Haile "Booty" Scott, Sr. During his administration, New Roads and the Pointe Coupee Parish Police Jury acquired property on which to construct facilities.{{Citation needed|date=October 2022}} Scott died in office in 1978.

Scott's wife, Trina Olinde Scott (1920-2016), was appointed to fill out his term, becoming New Roads' first female mayor. She was thereafter elected to two full terms of her own. A former educator who attended [[H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College]] in [[New Orleans]] and [[Louisiana State University]] in [[Baton Rouge]], Trina Scott helped revitalize Main Street, increase the size and effectiveness of the police force, and expand the municipal boundaries. Under her administration, New Roads was elevated from town to city status and the city and parish erected the Scott Civic Center, False River Regional Airport, playgrounds, and sports parks.{{Citation needed|date=October 2022}}<ref>{{cite news|url=http://obits.theadvocate.com/obituaries/theadvocate/obituary.aspx?n=the-honorable-trina-olinde-scott-punkin&pid=180873161&fhid=5614#sthash.aSSSniIU.dpuf|title=The Honorable Trina Olinde "Punkin" Scott|newspaper=[[The Advocate (Louisiana)|The Baton Rouge Advocate]]|access-date=August 3, 2016}}</ref>

Scott was succeeded by Sylvester Muckelroy, the first African American to hold the office.

In 2010, Robert Myer, also an African American, was elected mayor. On August 3, 2016, Myer was [[Indictment|indicted]] by a Pointe Coupee Parish [[grand jury]] on nine counts of malfeasance in office and abuse of power. From 2011 to 2014, Myer allegedly used a city-issued credit card for personal reasons. He also allegedly permitted the former municipal finance director to use the card in exchange for sexual favors.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/communities/westside/article_38d01b02-598e-11e6-9026-b3048f116b7b.html|title=New Roads mayor indicted on counts of malfeasance in office|author=Terry L.
