The late Dr. Kingsley B. Garrison told me about Congo Town in Amite, Louisiana many years ago. Congo Town is a subdivision of the West Portion of the property of L. B. Ponder, Jr. in Sec. 59 T.4. S.R. 7., E. Greensburg. District. Scale: 1"100" Date' 6-20-1951.
Present day Congo Town is called Shiloh. The Bean and Batiste family are large families in Congo Town.
1. Who named it Congo Town?
2. Why isn't it called Congo Town today?
3. Where is Harlem, Zulu, and Bongo Street.
