Baldwin is an incorporated town in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana, with an estimated population of 1,665 (U.S. Census Bureau, July 2024 estimate) and 3.2 square miles of land. That is down about 91 residents since the 2020 Census base.
🏢 Baldwin Town Hall
Baldwin's own town government keeps its local records: council or board meeting minutes, local ordinances and resolutions, local permits and licenses, and its own budget and contracts. Requests for those records go to the town clerk under the Louisiana Public Records Law. Birth and death certificates, marriage records, deeds and court files are generally kept by county and state offices rather than by the town; see the offices below.
