Parks in the
Denham Springs Area
Spring Park In The Antique Village area of Denham Springs History Ground-water springs which some
to the surface at the base of the low- lying ridge which runs
through the center of the city have figured in the city's name since
at least the 1850's. The area has been known as Amite Springs,
Hill's Springs, and Denham Springs. (1) The original land claims of
John Noblet and Alexander Hogue form what is now the older section
of Denham Springs, including the first residential and business
districts. In 1828, William Denham, a Wilkinson County, Miss.
native, married Mercy Hogue, the daughter of Alexander Hogue, and
three months later purchased the 640 acres originally claimed by his
father-in-law. (2) A popular belief, supported by previously
published histories, is that William Denham discovered the mineral
springs on his property and that a health resort quickly grew up
there. This belief defies logic, however, con- sidering the number
of springs which may be found in this area even today, and the
length of time that elapsed before Denham arrived on the scene. No
doubt Hogue and other early residents of the area depended on the
springs for drinking water. Livingston Parish Parks are the following 7 parks: King George Park, North Park, South Park, Colyell Community Park, North Park, South Park, and West Livingston Park. Major activities such as boating, tubing, and fishing are popular at Lake Maurepas and Lake Pontchartrain. King George Park, North Park, South Park and Colyell Community Park have a golf course, a community swimming pool numerous ball fields and seven tennis courts.
