As of the 2010 census, the town population was 3,289. HistoryDuring the American Civil War, Delhi and Monroe, the seat of Ouachita Parish, were overcrowded with unwelcome refugees from rural areas to the east when the forces of General U.S. Grant moved into northeastern Louisiana. Grant spent the winter of 1862-1863 at Winter Quarters south of Newellton in Tensas Parish in preparation for the siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi. He did not take the river port city until July 4, 1863. Historian John D. Winters reported "strong Union sympathy" in both Delhi and Monroe.[4] In the 1940s, Delhi was the center of a large natural gas boom. Numerous workers came to work in the industry. Several functioning gas fields still surround the town. From 1968-1969, Delhi Fire Department was home to the now defunct Louisiana State Police - Troop O. The site was abandoned in 1969 after thirteen months' operation, with state services reverting to be provided by Troop F in Monroe.[5] On February 21, 1971, Louisiana's only recorded F5 tornado struck outside of Delhi. It resulted in forty-seven deaths and was the deadliest F5 tornado to hit the United States since the Jackson, Mississippi, Candlestick Park tornado in 1966. It was the earliest confirmed F5 tornado during a year. Delhi has a drug store, the E.W. Thomsom Drug Company, which has operated continuously since 1873 in the same downtown location. The company has been owned for four generations by the McEacharn family, who purchased it from the Thomsons in the early 1920s. Pharmacist Wilfred Bruce McEacharn (born 1956) is the current owner. The lunch counter sells hand-crafted milk shakes and old-fashioned fountain Coca-Colas. Popular menu items include cheeseburgers and plates of tuna and chicken salad. Shari McEacharn, his wife, operates a gift shop within the drug store. The Thomson Company remains a mainstay of Delhi for all generations of patrons.[6] GeographyDelhi is located at {{Coord|32|27|21|N|91|29|36|W|type:city}} (32.455948, -91.493345).[7] The town lies at the confluence of U.S. Route 80 and Louisiana Highway 17, and near to Interstate 20. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of {{convert|2.6|sqmi|km2}}, of which {{convert|2.5|sqmi|km2}} is land and 0.1 square mile (2.33%) is water. The elevation of {{convert|89|ft|m|abbr=on}} spared Delhi from the brunt of the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 that destroyed most of the surrounding Mississippi River Delta area. The Poverty Point Reservoir, which hosts the acclaimed Black Bear Golf Club and the Poverty Point Reservoir State Park, is located just north of Delhi on Louisiana State Highway 17 near Warden. The reservoir project was pushed to fruition by State Senator Francis C. Thompson of Delhi.
