History

Marrero was named in honor of the Louisiana politician and founder of Marrero Land Company, Louis H. Marrero.

In February 1916, the U.S. Postmaster officially changed the name of the Post Office to "Marrero".<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Louis Herman Marrero was born in Adams County, Mississippi, on July 17, 1847. When he was a child his family moved to St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana. During his school years at Jackson, Louisiana, the American Civil War began, and Marrero joined Captain Scott's Command, later known as the 25th Louisiana Regiment.<ref>The Times-Picayune obituary, Date: 02-27-1921, page 65.</ref>
