History & geography

History

Crowley was founded in 1886 by brothers C.C. "Curley" Duson and W.W. Duson. Curley Duson was sheriff of St. Landry Parish, of which the Crowley townsite was then a part. Incorporated in 1887, W.W. Duson, General Manager of Southwest Louisiana Land Company, plotted and developed Crowley. W.W. Duson's daughter, Maime Duson, married Percy Lee Lawrence, who founded the First National Bank of Crowley. The 7-story building was once the tallest building between Houston and New Orleans. The town was named after Patrick E. Crowley (1850-1909), an Irish-born employee of the Louisiana Western Rail Road. Crowley was in charge of a small facility nicknamed "Crowley's Switch" near Estherwood. The Dusons persuaded Crowley to move the switch about seven miles east to the Dusons' land in exchange for naming the town for him.
