The name Kisatchie was chosen by the charter members because of the chapter's proximity to the great national forest by that name, pictured at right. It recalls the time when the land was covered with majestic virgin pine trees, the same trees which provided early settlers with logs for houses and barns and, even today, the area's forests provide the basis for lumber and timber economies of this area. The date of November 3, 1975, was selected for the organizational meeting and was held at the Beauregard War Memorial Civic Center.
