Saint Tammany Parish, located in the southeastern corner of Louisiana, is part of the New Orleans-Metairie Metropolitan Statistical Area. It encompasses an area of 1,120 square miles and is bordered by Lake Pontchartrain to the south, Mississippi to the east, and Washington Parish, Louisiana to the north.
The history of Saint Tammany Parish dates back to the early 18th century when French explorers first visited the area. It was originally inhabited by Native American tribes such as the Choctaw and Acolapissa. The parish was officially established in 1810, named after the Delaware Chief Tamanend, who was revered as a symbol of peace and tranquility. Under Spanish rule in the late 18th century, the area was designated as the district of San Tammany and was part of the broader Spanish Louisiana territory.
During the 19th century, Saint Tammany Parish experienced additional growth due to its strategic location near New Orleans and proximity to major waterways. The introduction of the railroad and steamboats in the late 19th and early 20th century further facilitated the parish's development. Industries such as lumber and brick production thrived, while agriculture also played a significant role in the region's economy.
Saint Tammany Parish is known for its diverse natural beauty, including swamps, rivers, and forests. It attracts visitors for its recreational opportunities, with numerous parks, trails, and waterways that provide opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and fishing.
A fun fact about Saint Tammany Parish is that it is colloquially referred to as the "Ozone Belt" due to the belief that the air in the region is exceptionally pure and beneficial for respiratory health. This reputation dates back to the 1800s when New Orleanians would visit the area to escape the city's heat, humidity, and illnesses. Today, the St. Tammany Trace, a 31-mile long rail-trail, provides users with easy access to experience the region's natural beauty and "healing" air.
