Description From Owner:

The place takes its name from the parish church, St. Alphonse, so named for Alphonso Marie dei Ligouri, son of a Neapolitan noble who abandoned a legal career to become a Roman Catholic bishop.
This area was settled by people of Acadian descent early in the 1800s. St. Alphonse Roman Catholic Church was built in 1921.
