Watson is a small but growing unincorporated town located in the northwest corner of Livingston Parish. It is one of the fastest growing areas in Livingston Parish. Watson retains that small town quality of life but is located close enough to Baton Rouge and Denham Springs to take advantage of their amenities.

Watson is a great place to call home, play, and raise a family. Our neighborhoods continue to grow and our schools rank as some of the highest in the state. With the opening of North Live Oak Elementary in August 2005 there are now 5 public schools in Watson. They are Live Oak Elementary, North Live Oak Elementary, South Live Oak Elementary, Live Oak Middle School, and Live Oak High School home of the Eagles. There are now plans in the work for a new high school and turning the current high school into a second middle school for Watson.

The children of Watson can be found participating in softball, baseball, football, and cheerleading through the Live Oak Sports Association during the year. You can also find them learning karate or dance at one of the local studios.

Watson has seen a steady growth in local businesses in the past few years and continues to grow as the population does. A few of the new businesses include a new grocery store, flea markets, children's indoor activity center and drug store. A new state of the art Library has also recently opened next door to North Live Oak Elementary. During the summer Watson visitors can be seen racing go carts on or tubing on the Amite river.

Watson is also the home of many wonderful and active churches in the area. As with the businesses the number of local churches have increased too, along with increased growth in membership rolls of existing churches.
