Louisiana’s claim to fame
The Town of Melville is known in Louisiana and beyond as being the Catfish Capital of the World! We are very proud of our claim to fame, and we have some pretty great catfish dishes and fishing spots to share with visitors to the area. Just ask around! Below, you’ll find a list of some of our other community events and happenings. Check back frequently, as we’ll be updating this page as things come up that we want to pass along. This is your best resource for becoming more involved in our little community!
