The U.S. state of Louisiana is divided into 64 parishes (French: paroisses) in the same manner that 48 other states of the United States are divided into counties, and Alaska is divided into boroughs.
41 parishes are governed by a council called the Police Jury. The remaining 23 have various other forms of government, including: council-president, council-manager, parish commission, and consolidated parish/city.
