The name of the town is "Cameron". It is the parish seat for Cameron Parish. The total population of the town is probably less than 5000, but I couldn't find any quick facts on the town.
Google Hurricane Audrey. Killed aboug 500 at Cameron in the fifties. It was horrible.
Cameron has been thru hell once before.
From a quick look at my American Map 2003 Road Atlas, the town of Cameron had a population of 1,965 (a number that should be from the 2000 census or a later census estimate). Also from looking at that map -- is the town on the Gulf or on the waterway connecting Lake Calcasieu with the Gulf? The dot for the town on my map seems to be more on the waterway.
