Parish
Louisiana county equivalent
A parish is an administrative district of a church, typically served by a single priest or minister, along with the community of people who worship there: Our parish is raising money for a new roof.
In Louisiana, parish is the term for what other U.S. states call a county—a legacy of French and Spanish colonial rule.
In Britain, a civil parish is a small unit of local government.
