The community of Louviers, begun by the Du Pont Company in 1906 and occupied starting in 1908, provided employee housing and support facilities for the adjacent Louviers Works dynamite plant. Du Pont carefully planned, built, and managed the village. In addition to housing for workers and management, the community included a school, church, hotel, parks and ball field, and a large community club. The community remained under Du Pont ownership until 1962, when the company sold both the village and the dynamite plant. The entire village is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district for its significance in the areas of community planning & development, social history and industry.
