Barataria Settlement (1778 - 1785)

Plano de Barataria, 1778

History[1] 

In 1779, the Spanish government established a settlement of immigrants from the Canary Islands along much of the length of both banks of Bayou des Familles and on Bayou Barataria near the confluence of the two bayous. The land for the new settlement was acquired by the government by purchase, through gift, and by repossession of unused lands. A 10-arpent-front by 110-arpent-deep tract of land, fronting Bayou Barataria between Bayou de la Borne and Bayou des Familles, was purchased by the King of Spain from Pedro Alberto Bonne prior to May 14, 1779. On that date, 'Bonne sold another 10-by-110-arpent strip bordering the King's on the west to Luis Pellerin. Two months later, Pellerin sold this strip to Andres Jung. Jung, who had been made Commandant of the Barataria Canary Islander settlement, donated the 10-arpent strip to the King of Spain on July 12, 1779. By this time, houses had been erected for the Islenos, and they were established on the property. The buildings were constructed by Joseph Chalon.

Considering that much of their depth consisted of cypress swamp, the two 10-arpent strips acquired by the King of Spain were not large enough for a poblacion. Therefore, the government repossessed lands that were vacant or disused for distribution to the lslenos. These lands adjoined the 20-arpent tract acquired by the Crown which gave important access to Bayou Barataria. Records indicate that the back lands of the Boudousquie, Guerbois and Dauterive properties were not occupied or used in the 1770s. The Spanish government reclaimed these and other lands along the bayou to a distance of 80 arpents from the river, which was the limit of the double concessions measuring 40 arpents each of the plantation properties fronting the river. The Canary Islander tracts formed one continuous settlement that stretched for seven aerial miles northward of Bayou Barataria along both sides of Bayou des Familles. This waterway had previously been known as Bayou Barataria and was renamed for the Spanish families that were settled along it.

The Canary Island immigrants were settled in Barataria as part of a Spanish program to populate remote areas of Louisiana with farmer-soldiers and their families, both for purposes of defense and to establish Spain's presence throughout the territory. This settlement program was developed as an outgrowth of revisions made by the Spanish government in the presidial concept of frontier defense. Because presidios were usually remotely located from sources of supply, they were frequently unable to sustain themselves without a supporting civilian population of farmers and ranchers, even at great cost to the royal treasury. Across New Spain's northern frontier, isolated presidios were pulled back and consolidated in the 1760s and 1770s. New regulations encouraged the colonization of new towns together with local militia companies. New presidios were laid out to include towns, cultivated fields, pasture, and woodland. 

In 1762, the Treaty of Fontainebleau ceded Louisiana from France to Spain. In 1763, the Treaty of Paris ceded Florida from Spain to England. With the exception of the Isle of Orleans, the eastern boundary of New Spain now lay on the westbank of the Mississippi River. The vast territory of Louisiana was the new Spanish frontier, and it entirely adjoined English territory. To help guard against encroachment by the English, Spain sought to people her new frontier with self-sustaining soldier-farmers loyal to Spain. The government-subsidized immigration of several thousand Canary Islanders was a part of this program. The program was not entirely successful and was a continuous drain on the royal treasury. The principal reason for lack of success was that the government selected settlement sites for their strategic defense value, rather than for their suitability for residence and agriculture. Many of the settlements failed after there were years of suffering and many deaths. 

As a route from the sea to New Orleans, it was important to guard Barataria against invasion. Fifty-seven Canary Islander families, consisting of about 250 persons, were settled there in 1779. They had sailed from Santa Cruz de Tenerife late in 1778 and early in 1779, in several ships. The government built houses for them and provided them with utensils, implements, firearms, a few animals, clothing, money, and rations. Each family was to receive at least five arpents of land fronting the bayou for farming and stock raising.

The Barataria Isleno settlement was devastated by hurricanes in 1779, 1780, 1793 and 1794, and by major flood in 1796 and 1802-4. Bayou des Familles was still partially fed from the Mississippi River at present-day Marrero, and there were frequent crevasses and floods. The Islenos' crops were repeatedly destroyed. Their animals were killed and their buildings were ruined. The government relocated some of the families and reestablished others in Barataria in successively fewer numbers. The poblacion was still being heavily provisioned by the government upon the death of Commandant Jung in 1784. A census of 1788 listed the "Pueblo" of Barataria as having a population of 40, 25 of whom were white. Five Barataria Isleno families, numbering 27 people, lost all their crops and animals in the 1796 crevasse. The crevasse of 1802 was not closed for two years, and most of the remaining Canary Islander families were relocated-on Bayou Terres aux Boeufs.

-----------------------------

NOTE:  There are two known migrations documented.  The first was before December 15, 1779 in which Lt. Antonio de St. Maxent, commandant of Valenzuela, escorted 16 families of Baratarians to his settlement.   The second migration occurred in September 1782 when 25 Baratarian families petitioned Pierre DeMarigny, commandant of St. Bernard, to allow them to move to his district.
