The publication shown is the 1937 Jefferson Parish Yearly Review, an official annual progress report sponsored by the Police Jury of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. Historical Significance Unique Publication: Running from 1935 to 1981, this was the only annual review series ever sponsored by a parish in Louisiana. Original Purpose: In its early decades, it was not for the general public. Instead, it was distributed to industrial leaders, financiers, and government bodies to promote Jefferson Parish as a business-friendly location. Evolution of Governance: The 1937 edition reflects the parish under the Police Jury system, which was the governing body until it transitioned to the modern president-council system later in the 20th century
