History
The name of the community is derived from Bayou Coden, the bayou that it is situated upon. Bayou Coden is an English translation of the original French name, Coq d' Inde. Beginning in the late 1800s the area became known for its resorts, but a hurricane in 1906 ended the hotel business.{{cite web |url=http://www.portersvillerevivalgroup.org/ANNUAL%20LETTER.htm |title=Portersville Revival Group: Annual Letter |year=2007 |publisher=Portersville Revival Group |accessdate=April 27, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110727182247/http://www.portersvillerevivalgroup.org/ANNUAL%20LETTER.htm |archive-date=July 27, 2011 |url-status=dead }}
