Bob Acres, Louisiana

Bob Acres is a small unincorporated community in rural Iberia Parish, Louisiana. It was established as a train station by American actor Joseph Jefferson, who owned nearby Orange Island (now Jefferson Island), an inland salt dome that only appeared to be an island from a distance. Jefferson named Bob Acres after a character (see Bob Acres) in The Rivals, one of the plays in which the actor appeared.
