==History==
Much of the land which the city now occupies was part of an 160-acre farm owned by Darel Zachary (1827-1907).〔("History of Zachary" ) Town Square Publications, 2005.〕 In the 1880s, Zachary sold his land to the Illinois Central Railroad, who built a track and a depot on it.〔("Archivist Retraces Zachary’s History from Original Train Depot, Revolution, Resurrection from Fire" ) C. J. Futch for the ''Advocate'', March 25, 2015.〕 A village quickly grew up around the depot, which came to be called "Zachary" after the original farmer. Zachary's first post office was opened in 1885, and it was incorporated as a city on August 2, 1889,〔("A Look Back at Our History" ) Margaret Harmon, historian and archivist for the Zachary United Methodist Church, September 2011.〕 with Thomas Edward McHugh as its first mayor.〔("History of Zachary" ) City of Zachary.〕 A fire devastated the city in 1903, supposedly caused by a greengrocer trying to flame-ripen his bananas. The "historic village" at the center of the city is composed of buildings which either survived the fire, or were built shortly after it, the oldest (excluding the depot) being the 1898 Allison House. The first census was carried out in 1914 and reported just 419 residents. Zachary was the first city in Louisiana since the Reconstruction to elect a Republican as mayor, Jack Louis Breaux.〔
