Effie, Louisiana was established around 1898. The area was known as "Point Maigre" by early settlers. Benjamin F. Garlington became postmaster and renamed the area, "Effie", after his daughter. He ran the post office out of his house near this site. Effie would become the focal point of Ward One when LaFargue High School was built in 1929, consolidating all schools of the area.
