COMMENTS:

This post office was established in the D'Arbonne community located on Highway #33 between 
Farmerville and Ruston, just inside the Union Parish line in Section 33, Township 20 North, 
Range 1 West. This is the same location as the former Pipesville Post Office closed 
some twenty years earlier.
