History

Pre-1955 route numbering

In the original Louisiana Highway system in use between 1921 and 1955, the modern LA 14 was part of three separate routes.

Western and eastern sections

The section from Lake Charles to Holmwood was a small part of State Route 42.^[25] Route 42 followed the modern US 171 corridor from Lake Charles as far north as Mansfield in DeSoto Parish.^[26] South of Holmwood, it followed the current LA 27 south and west to Cameron on the Gulf of Mexico.^[26] The portion of Route 42 now followed by LA 14 remained the same during the pre-1955 era.^[25][27]

The eastern half of LA 14 from Lake Arthur to New Iberia was also part of a much longer pre-1955 route, State Route 25.^[28][6] It was the middle portion of a U-shaped route that also included the modern corridor of LA 26 to Oberlin on the west end and LA 31 to Opelousas on the east end.^[26] The portion of Route 25 now followed by LA 14 had some minor differences in the pre-1955 era. Southeast of the Mermentau River bridge at Lake Arthur, the highway made a jog at LA 717 east onto Cypress Point Road then south onto Clesmae Road to rejoin the present alignment.^[28] On the east side of Gueydan, the highway turned south from Main Street onto 13th Street, then east onto Maree Michel Road, and south onto Hair Road to rejoin the current alignment.^[29][30] This portion of the route was re-aligned by the time of the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering.^[28] Further east, the pre-1955 route generally followed the current business routes through Abbeville and Erath.^[28] Sharp turns have been smoothed out over several portions of the route, most notably in Iberia Parish, where short segments of the original route bypassed during the 1920s are now local roads known as Old LA 25 Road.^[25][31]
