minus-square@ikidd@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-25 months ago Louisiana’s usage of the term “parish” for a geographic region or local government dates back to the French colonial and Spanish colonial periods and is connected to ecclesiastical parishes. lol
minus-squareLustyArgonianlinkfedilinkEnglish7•5 months agoYes, it means “geographical region” in this context because we are not in French and Spanish colonial times… It is not religious any more.
minus-square@SolOrion@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish2•edit-25 months agoThe origin of the word ‘county’ is: The term is derived from the Old French comté denoting a jurisdiction under the sovereignty of a count (earl) or, in his stead, a viscount (vicomte). It no longer has anything to do with feudalism, just like parish has nothing to do with religion anymore.
