История
Эрат назван в честь Августа Эрата (18 марта 1843 года – 11 сентября 1900 года), эмигрировавшего из Швейцарии в Новый Орлеан в 1860 году и работавшего бухгалтером на пивоварнях. В 1876 году он переехал в Новую Иберию и построил там пивоварню. Позже Эрат стал мэром Новой Иберии и начал осваивать земли в районе Эрата. Хотя Август Эрат никогда не жил в Эрате, его связи с железнодорожными чиновниками принесли ему выгодное деловое предприятие. Впоследствии Эрат построил завод по производству газированной воды в Новой Иберии и ледовый завод в Аббивилле. В 1884 году он открыл хозяйственный магазин и приобрел землю в этом районе. В 2005 году штормовой нагон, вызванный ураганом Рита, затопил большую часть города. Глубина воды в большинстве районов достигала шести футов.

В 2000 году насчитывалось 819 домохозяйств, из которых 35,0% имели детей в возрасте до 18 лет, проживающих с ними, 50,7% были супружескими парами, проживающими вместе, 16,1% возглавлялись женщиной без мужа, а 29,1% не были семьями. 25,9% всех домохозяйств состояли из отдельных лиц, а 12,5% имели проживающего в одиночестве человека в возрасте 65 лет и старше.

Затем он отказался от фамилии и использовал среднее имя своего отца, «Генрих», в качестве своей фамилии Генри. Потомки Генри до сих пор живут в этом районе. В то время было принято, чтобы благотворители спонсировали школы; в приходе Вермильон было довольно много аналогично спонсируемых школ. Учитывая, что это было так давно, и в сельской местности, где школы иногда спонсировались даже на дому, то, что предлагалось и для скольких людей, сильно варьировалось и часто менялось со временем. Согласно записям, школа Генри была основана в 1877 году. Ученики были переведены в среднюю школу Эрат, а средняя школа Генри стала начальной школой. Затем 24 сентября 2005 года (менее чем через месяц после урагана Катрина) ураган Рита обрушился на приход и разрушил школу. Три года спустя этот район также сильно пострадал от урагана Айк, и главное здание было окончательно снесено примерно в марте 2009 года. Сравнение изображений Google Earth, например, от 28 февраля 2006 года до 23 апреля 2012 года на пересечении шоссе 330 и 689, показывает парковку на месте основной школы и исчезнувший церковный дом, но спортзал активно используется детскими спортивными организациями и другими группами.
