Galveztown (/ˈɡælvɛztaʊn/), or Villa de Gálvez (Spanish: [ˈbi.ʝa ðe ˈgal.βes]), is a ghost town located at the confluence of Bayou Manchac and the Amite River in Ascension Parish, Louisiana. Galveztown was established in 1778 with the settlement of Canary Islanders colonists and Anglo-Americans fleeing the American Revolutionary War. Due to deplorable conditions and disease, the settlement was eventually abandoned and many residents fled to Spanish Town in 1806. Some former residents remained in the area and established the community of Gálvez, Louisiana during the first half of the nineteenth century.
