About Sunshine, LA

Sunshine is a populated place in Iberville Parish, Louisiana, United States. The community is now partially within the city limits of St. Gabriel. Located approximately 15 miles south of Baton Rouge along the Mississippi River, the community was originally named Forlorn Hope by inhabitants, but was given its current name by Oscar Richard, Sr., who was the post master of the Forlorn Hope, La., post office. He petitioned the federal government for permission to change the name of the post office to Sunshine in order to give it a more uplifting name. As frequently happens, the villages took the name of the local post office; hence, the name of the village and community became known as Sunshine. Much of the community was annexed to St. Gabriel in 1987, excluding a peninsula along the river. The ZIP Code for Sunshine is 70780.
