Cecil Toyota Serves Sulphur, LA

The town of Sulphur is named after the element sulfur, discovered in abundance there in the late 1800s. Due to the hazardous nature of sulfur mining at the time, the town only boomed when a new process was introduced that rendered the sulphur mining far safer and more efficient. The developer of this process, Herman Frasch, has an elementary school and park named after him in town. Following the industrial boom of the early 1900s, the oil industry arrived mid-century and further aided the growth of the town.

Today Sulphur is home to over twenty-thousand residents and was named the third-best city in Louisiana to raise a family in 2014. The Brimstone Museum exhibits the history of the town as well as the Frasch Process of mining sulfur that led to its growth. Sulphur is the start of the Creole Nature Trail, a National Scenic Byway that will take you into the heart of what’s known as "Louisiana's Outback."
