Welcome

The Kaplan Area Chamber of Commerce is organized for the purpose of promoting the commercial, civic, industrial and general welfare of the Kaplan area, the city of Kaplan and Vermilion Parish. The chamber is a non-profit, non-partisan and non-sectarian organization.

Kaplan "Gateway to the Acadiana's Coastal Wetlands" is located in the heart of Vermilion Parish on the lush lowlands of Southwest Louisiana. The city, with a population of 5,200, and people of Kaplan characterize the best qualities of both a proud Acadian heritage and a progressive minded community. Many residents speak French, especially the older generation. Those who live here call it "God's Country". Those who visit, return because of the warmth of the people, good food and the spirit of "Joie de Vivre" (joy of living). Only 21 miles from Interstate 10 and sitting directly on Hwy 14, Kaplan is very accessible from many directions. Sometimes referred to as "The Most Cajun place on earth", daily life is easy and moves from celebration to celebration.
