Bayou Teche was the Mississippi River's main course when it developed a delta about
2,800 to 4,500 years ago. Through a natural process known as deltaic switching the river's
deposits of silt and sediment causes the Mississippi to change its course every 1,000 years or so.

During the time of the Acadian migration to what was then known as the Attakapas region,
the Teche was the primary means of transportation.
