| The Irish settlers had all the land granted from Grandique Ferry to the east end of Louisdale village. The French being on crown land, they decided to grant the land they were settled upon. John Marie Marchand and his two sons applied for a joint grant for 150 acres at the east end of Louisdale village and Bastian Sampson and three other settlers - Benjamin Linden, Isaac Marchand and Regis Marchand – also applied for a joint grant for 100 acres, being to the west end of Louisdale. Their grants were issued in 1867. In 1871 Benjamin and Edward Marchand, youngest sons of John Marie Marchand, built a house 32 X 24 for both families. There being huge pine trees, they cut one eighty-four feet long, without a limb, and after it was sawed, it sealed the lower part of the house all around. There is still some of them boards in use now in Louisdale. | |||

| The schools's pupils was increasing very fast in Louisdale. Having a long distance to go in winter, they decided to build a schoolhouse in the village of Louisdale which was built in 1885 near the present site of the parish glebe house. Mrs. Baptiste (Kate McEachern) Ceretto of Arichat was the first teacher. | |||

| There was yet no post office in Louisdale, the people had to go to Grandique Ferry for their mail. The first post office was at River Moulin bridge in 1893, Dan W. McRae, Postmaster. The name of Seal Cove was then changed to Barrachois St. Louis. | |||
| The following year the post office was turned over to Simon Joyce who was driving the mail from MacPherson Grand Anse to Louisdale. | |||
| John Marie Marchand, one of the discoverers of Louisdale, was a man of strong constitution. On his dying bed he was asked if he wanted the doctor. He said he was old enough and willing to die. He passed away in 1895 at the age of 102. His wife Mélie passed away in 1896 at the age of 98 years. | |||
| The schoolhouse of Louisdale was very small and the school's pupils was increasing fast. So there was a need of another schoolhouse to accommodate the pupils. It was decided by the ratepayers to build it in the middle of the section. The first department was built in 1902, 36X24. | |||
| The people of Louisdale had a lot of trouble with their mail, having four places by the name of Barrachois in Richmond County. The mail would be delayed sometimes three or four days before it could reach its right destination. The people of Louisdale applied to have the name changed. So in 1903 the name of Barrachois St. Louis was changed to Louisdale. | |||
| Having no church yet in Louisdale and Arichat their parish and a distance away, a church was very much needed. The majority of the people had no horses and had to walk that distance in order to make their Easter duties. In August 1902, the people of Louisdale called a meeting with Rev. Fr. Gallant P.P. of Arichat presiding, urging the people of Louisdale to make a special effort to raise funds to start the church. Mostly al the parishioners signed their names to pay funds to start the church, which was started in 1904 and the exterior completed. The population of Louisdale was increasing very fast and having Grandique Ferry school system amalgamated with Louisdale, there was need for a second school department. So there was 26 feet added to the schoolhouse and made two departments in 1908. | |||
| The exterior of the church has (sic) already been built twenty-one years and is getting very shaky. With Rev. A. E. Momberquette (sic) P.P. of Arichat at the head, there was eighteen feet added to it and the interior completed in 1925. | |||
| Having only a two department school house and cannot accommodate all the school children, the third department was ordered built by the school inspector; and in 1931, two more departments. Having only three in use, the fourth is used as a parish hall. Louisdale enjoys good facilities, having a church, a four department school house, water and railway facilities, the trunk highway within half a mile, the main road to Isle Madame, also one of the best country stores in the province of Nova Scotia in the vicinity, and that is as much as any little village in the province of Nova Scotia can boast of.... | |||
