History of Morgan City
Morgan City was incorporated in 1868 when the settlements of North and South Morgan were combined. Around that time the transcontinental railroad was being constructed and Morgan was on the main route which brought prosperity and many advantages to Morgan residents.
The community took on the challenge of creating a sophisticated canal and ditch system to bring water to their homes and crops. The system was well engineered and is still in use today.
The main business district used to be along the west side of the railroad tracks, now known as Commercial Street. Due to limited space many businesses have moved to other areas of the city.
Morgan City Corporation owns and operates its own power, water and sewer systems. According to current utility information there are approximately 3200 residents living in Morgan City today.
