    Louisiana’s usage of the term “parish” for a geographic region or local government dates back to the French colonial and Spanish colonial periods and is connected to ecclesiastical parishes.

      Yes, it means “geographical region” in this context because we are not in French and Spanish colonial times… It is not religious any more.
