Discover Sulphur
Sulphur is named for the sulfur mines that operated in the area in the 1900s. In 1867 the geologist Eugene W. Hilgard, prospecting for oil and other minerals in Calcasieu Parish, found sulfur in the caprock of a salt dome, but it lay beneath several hundred feet of muck and quicksand laced with deadly hydrogen sulfide gas, and repeated attempts to sink mine shafts in the 1870s and 1880s cost many lives.
More about Sulphur
In 1890 the German immigrant Herman Frasch patented the Frasch process, which used concentric pipes to pump superheated water underground, melt the sulfur and force it to the surface with compressed air, and the first molten sulfur was brought up on Christmas Eve of 1894. Sulfur was soon mined on an industrial scale, poured into vats 100 by 400 feet to harden, then blasted apart and hauled by rail to the Sabine River for shipment. The Union Sulphur Company, a venture of Frasch and the landowning American Sulphur Company, set off decades of booming growth, and Sulphur was incorporated in 1914; its downtown elementary school is named for Frasch. The Cities Service, now Citgo, refinery opened in 1943, and the Maplewood and Hollywood areas were developed to house its workers. Refineries and petrochemical plants remain the area's main employers. Sources Wikipedia: Sulphur, Louisiana
