The area became a refuge for outlaws and filibusters from Carolina, Georgia, and Mississippi of the United States, which had recently gained independence from Great Britain. Mora was granted a large tract of land between the Rio Hondo (now Calcasieu River) and the Sabine River, known for years as the "Neutral Strip" between Louisiana and Texas. The early history of the parish dates to the period of the Spanish occupation of Louisiana, after France had ceded this territory following its defeat by Great Britain in the Seven Years' War. Potentially it being named "Something Parish" after "Something River". There is also some speculation that Calcasieu is simply an anglicized spelling of "quelque chose" (pronounced kel-ka-showz) which is French for "something". The Americans adopted an English transliteration of the French name for the parish. When the Spanish controlled this area, they referred to this river as the Rio Hondo ( Rio Stondo or "Deep River"). The name Calcasieu comes from the Atakapa word, spelled quelqueshue in a French transliteration, and meaning "singing eagle." This was the name of an Atakapa chief, which French colonists applied to the local river, the Calcasieu River. The original area of Calcasieu Parish is called Imperial Calcasieu. As the population in this area grew over the years, the original Calcasieu Parish has since been divided into five smaller parishes. In 1852 Jacob Ryan, a local planter and businessman, donated land and offered to move the courthouse in order to have the parish seat moved to Lake Charles. On December 8, 1840, it was renamed as Marion, Louisiana. The original parish seat was Comasaque Bluff, a settlement east of the river and later called Marsh Bayou Bluff.

The portions were very generous and came with garlic bread and side salads.
