March 26, 1953 the Iberia Parish Council adopted a resolution, which created a Fire Protection District known as the Iberia Parish Fire Protection District No. 1. As of January 1, 1991 the Iberia Parish Council adopted an ordinance creating the Iberia Parish Fire Protection District No. 1 Board of Commissioners as the governing authority.
