Jules G. Fisher

Jules Gabriel Fisher (Apr 15, 1874 – May 14, 1943) was a Louisiana State Senator from Barataria, Louisiana, serving from 1924 to 1943. Fisher became the owner of a major shrimp processing facility known as "Manila Village," located in Barataria Bay between Grand Isle and Lafitte and west of Port Sulphur, Louisiana. For many years, this camp village on stilts served as his part-time residence. Fisher was elected to the Jefferson Parish Police Jury and served as its President, was a delegate on the Louisiana State Constitution Committee, and was a dean of the State Senate when he died at the age of 69.
