There is 1 incorporated community in Assumption parish.
NAPOLEONVILLE

Unincorporated areas of interest in the parish include Pierre Part and Belle River in the western part of the parish and several communities along Bayou Lafourche:
Paincourtville-According to tradition the village received its name from an early traveler, who in passing through was unable to obtain a single loaf of bread and therefore facetiously called the place short-of-bread-town.
Labadieville-Thought to have been the site of the chief village of the Washi Indians, one of four tribes mentioned by Bienville when he explored the area in 1699.
