What is your source for that? If true...
There was a good bit of activity around here during the Civil War. Madisonville was a hotbed of blackmarket and Confederate partisan activity, and saw a handful of skirmishes. There were a lot of Union troop movements between there and Ponchatoula, mainly due to the railroad in Ponchatoula. Madisonville was even shelled by a Union gunboat at one point.

Interesting, I have looked for books about the civil war in STT and surrounding area but never had any luck. Any that you know of that you would recommend?

It's true
STP is also home to the worlds first wireless/keyless garage door opener
Collectively, St. Tammany Parish has the most fire ants per acre than any other parish/county in the south
Also, kerosene, candle wax, crawfish ponds, and iridescent light bulbs were invented in STP

Strange, my ex GFS grandparents live there. They are German, but from Venezuela. He was some type of engineer. I always thought the guy must have fled because he was a Nazi.
