About Morse
Morse is a village in Acadia Parish, Louisiana, United States. As of the 2020 census, Morse had a population of 599. It is part of the Crowley Micropolitan Statistical Area.
Laid out in 1898 on land owned by J. M. Crabtree, Morse was settled by farmers from Illinois and Iowa and incorporated as a village in 1906. The Southern Pacific Railroad had built a line here in 1895 connecting Midland and Gueydan and named it Morse Station after the railroad's New Orleans–based passenger agent, Col. Samuel Finley Breese Morse, a cousin of the inventor of the telegraph. Morse had promoted immigration efforts targeting the area.
