Geopolitical Data
St. Tammany Parish, located on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain has easy access to New Orleans via the Causeway or the I-10 Twin span. Interstates 12, 10, 55 and 59, U.S.190 and a vast array of state highways conveniently tie us to the entire country. New Orleans International Airport is less than an hour away. Our population is 144508 people in 57993 households. The land area is 854.4 square miles (546845 acres); the water area is 269.7 square miles (172583 acres). St. Tammany Parish is located at latitude 30.40 degrees North, longitude 89.96 degrees West. The fastest growing region in Louisiana, with an influx of approximately 500 people per month, St. Tammany's present population is estimated at 170,000. Named after Delaware Indian Chief Tamenand, the parish was first explored in 1699 by French-Canadian Pierre Le Moyne Iberville, the first European to sight Lake Pontchartrain in what is now Louisiana. It wasn't until 1785, that families from Georgia and the Carolinas began to settle the territory. Claims were staked along the Tchefuncte, Bogue Falaya and other rivers and bayous, and in time villages became cities, while much of the pristine rural areas of St. Tammany Parish have been kept intact.
