| Louisiana Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Cityscape Cityscape lwitko The Americans purchased Louisiana from the French in 1803 for just 15 million dollars. Just come and visit the state of Louisiana and you will see that they got their money's worth (especially if you take into consideration that they got the states of Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, Wyoming, South Dakota, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana and New Mexico for free as part of the deal). For travelers New Orleans is the first thing on the Cajun menu. This city is pretty different from any other in the US and is vibrant with life. The old French Quarter of the city is one of the most attractive places in the whole of the country. Lafayette and Lugu Lake offer more attractions from the time of the Acadians. The whole of the state is dotted with mansions dating back to the 19-th century or even further. Plantation Country - with Baton Rouge as its most important city - is packed with them. Just minutes from the New Orleans airport, you'll find Destrehan Plantation, built in 1787. Nearby is Ormond Plantation, the oldest French West Indies style Creole plantation on the river. Further upriver, the snow white ballroom at Nottoway, the South's largest plantation home, will take your breath away and there is a lot more... Northern Louisiana is great for an active holiday. is perfect for hunting duck, deer and fortunes. Whether your goal is to land a big trophy bass or to win big at one of the casinos, you'll have a great time here. ________History Edit This Earliest known settlement by Europeans was in 1800 by Jacques Dreux. In 1813 John Wharton Collins established a town here with the name of Wharton. The city was renamed after General Leonard Covington, a hero of the War of 1812. Commerce was brought here by boat up the Bogue Falaya, which connects through the Tchefuncte River to Lake Pontchartrain. In 1888 the railroad came to town. In the late 20th century many people who worked in New Orleans started living in Covington, commuting across Lake Pontchartrain on the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. Population continues to grow, bringing Covington ever more into the Greater New Orleans Metropolitan area. In 2003, Covington elected its first female and first Republican mayor, Candace Watkins. Following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005, Covington along with the rest of the North Shore of Lake Pontchartrain experienced a massive population boom as a result of many former inhabitants of the New Orleans area being forced to move out of their storm ravaged homes. A large amount of the people moving to Covington were from St. Bernard Parish, in particular those from Chalmette (nicknamed "Chalmations") and transients looking for work as a cheap labor force. As of the end of 2005 it remains to be seen how many of these new residents will choose to stay in Covington, although many are beginning to refer to the area as "St. Tammanard Parish". On the night of September 28, 2006, the City Hall and adjacent Police Department sustained heavy damage in a fire. John M. Thompson, who moved to Covington from Chalmette after Hurricane Katrina destroyed his home, was booked on a federal arson charge after setting the fire with a cigarette and hurricane evacuation pamphlets. The fire caused at least $350,000 in damage, and the council chambers will likely have to be demolished and rebuilt |
