Брё-Бридж (Breaux Bridge)
История
25 августа 1829 года, в возрасте 33 лет, Шолостик Пику Бро основала город Брё-Бридж в штате Луизиана. Шолостик родилась 25 июля 1796 года под именем Шолостик Мелани Пику. В юном возрасте она вышла замуж за Агрикола Бро, и у них родилось пятеро детей. В 1817 году супруги заменили подвесной пешеходный мост через Байу-Теш, построенный отцом Агрикола, на мост для гужевого транспорта, что способствовало развитию торговли в этом районе. В возрасте 32 лет Шолостик овдовела. Будучи целеустремленной акадийской женщиной, Шолостик разработала "План города Брё-Бридж" ("Plan de la Ville du Pont des Breaux"), который включал в себя подробную карту местности и схему улиц. Она развивала эту территорию, продавая земельные участки другим акадийским поселенцам. В 1847 году была образована церковная община, а спустя 12 лет эта местность получила официальный статус города. После основания города Шолостик вновь вышла замуж и родила еще двоих детей.
Мост Брео
Отцом Агриколя был аккадский пионер Фирмен Брео. Брео впервые прибыл в этот район в начале 1765 года. К 1774 году его клеймо было зарегистрировано, а к 1786 году он стал одним из крупнейших землевладельцев в районе Байу-Теш. В 1799 году Брео построил пешеходный мост через Байу-Теш, чтобы облегчить переход для своей семьи и соседей. Этот первый мост был подвесным, вероятно, сделанным из веревок и небольших досок. Он укреплялся при помощи небольших свай, расположенных по обеим сторонам моста, а также парой огромных живых дубов по обеим сторонам залива. При описании маршрута местные жители часто указывали: "Идите к мосту Брео…". Позже это название стало названием города.
