Carey Salt Company

Discovered in 1927, a salt mine located in Winn Parish, La. near the town of Winnfield, was developed and operated by the Hutchinson, Kan. based company, Carey Salt. A base of operations for the company in Winnfield was created under the name Louisiana Development Company. The salt mine opened around 1930 and remained in production until 1966 when it was forced to close because of an underground flood.
