Broussard wasn't always Broussard. In fact, the city was first called Cote Gelee, which means Frozen Hills, because of a severe winter in 1784. The hilly terrain froze over and became slick and treacherous. In 1884, the name of the town was changed by Valsin Broussard, a resident whose store was robbed. He decided to start a vigilante group and change the town's name, and it worked. The name stuck, and thus began the evolution of Broussard as we know it.
