From the book entitled "The Free State - A History and Place-Names Study
of Livingston Parish" by the members of the Livingston Parish American
Revolution Bicentennial Committee in cooperation with the Livingston 
Parish Police Jury and the Louisiana American Revolution Bicentennial
Commission, 1976.  Reprinted by permission.  Dedicated to the memory of
Reuben Cooper and Raymond Riggs.

4-H CLUB ROAD is a name applied in recent years to that portion of La.

Hwy. 1032 which runs south off US Hwy. 190 to Harris Road, but it is

only a short portion of an old road which ran along the high ground 

bordering the east swamps of the Amite River.  It was labeled "Galvez-

town Road" on original claims maps.

     The Galveztown Road ran northward, crossing the Baton Rouge and

Springfield Public Road at Cave Bank, and continued beyond the present

US Hwy. 190 and the site of Denham Springs.

     The name 4-H Club Road became common because of the establishment

of a 4-H Camp at Garig's Ferry about 1940.  The camp was called Camp

Garrison for the donors of the land. --- Mrs. Anita Durand Buess
