The population was 807 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Crowley Micropolitan Statistical Area. The Estherwood area had two earlier names, Tortue, after the Indian chief, and Coul e Trief or Trive.

He was described as a "tall, dark, sinister-looking" man who wore large earrings like pirates once did.
