Physical
Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy Jobs in
Lake Charles, Louisiana
Located on both the Calcasieu River and the
lake from which its name is derived, this deep water port
hosts a population of over 71,000 people. Lake Charles was
settled in 1781 by Mr. and Mrs. LeBleu of Bordeaux, France.
It wasn’t until the establishment of a lumber mill and
schooner dock in 1855 that Lake Charles received its much
needed economic and population growth, resulting in the city
becoming incorporated in 1861.
Today’s downtown features a boardwalk around its famous
lake, complete with picnic tables, fishing piers and lots
of ducks. Be sure to make a stop at the Veteran’s Memorial
Park, within easy walking distance. If it’s Saturday,
then go indoors at the Old Union Hall for the Farmer’s
Market. Or for those feeling lucky, then head over to either
Player’s Island or the Isle of Capri casinos for the
slots and card games.
The cultural scene in Lake Charles ranges from the Symphony
Orchestra to the Heritage Gallery, which is dedicated to the
preservation of African-American culture and history. There
is no shortage of museums either. The Imperial Calcasieu Museum
with its historical displays and art gallery features a 300
year old oak tree, to the Mardi Gras Museum of Imperial Calcasieu,
housing the largest costume display in the state. After a
long day taking in the sights, head to North Beach-the only
white sand inland beach from Texas to Florida. Relax, and
enjoy all the city has to offer.
