"The parish on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain was named, in 1810 for St. Tammany, who was not apparently a saint per se. St. Tammany was one of the names for the popular Native American Chief Tamanend, known for negotiating peacefully with Pennsylvanian colonists. According to the Delaware Tribe of Indians website: "Tamanend is reported to have announced that the Lenni-Lenape and the English colonists would 'live in peace as long as the waters run in the rivers and creeks and as long as the stars and moon endure.'"

If you havent moved there yet youve already missed the golden age. If uou live thete now and arent planning your exit strategy, better get going. Overdevelopment, traffic, corruption, and chronic flood problems ate killing the quality of life.

Preliminary test runs for project G412 otherwise known as napalm were done in the western part of the parish back in the day

STP also boasts the world's second largest population of direct Nazi descendants outside of Germany

Before it was formally St. Tammany Parish, the area was known as Tecumseh Tiki Territory and was populated by American Indians from the ihikbeau (sp?) tribe

In the 1970s, I was told they wanted to donate their finest shite to help fertilize the strawberry farms of Tangipahoa parish. Problem is, it doesn't quite have the same stink our strawberries require.

I was actually going to be a smartass and claim there was no St. Tammany. I'll be damned.
