During the Spanish regime, Choctaw Indian country around the Tchefuncte River was referred to as the District of Chifoncta. By 1785, Charles Parent settled north of Madisonville. Juan Baham's 1798 Spanish land grant included the site of Chifoncta and the village was called Coquille. In 1810, President James Madison claimed the region for Louisiana. In 1813, the town consisted of a few French-built mud-walled huts, log cabins and some small fields. The town dedicated as Madisonville was formally incorporated in 1817. The river village continues to hug history to life.
