The Metry, Chalmette transplants are the people who are ruining it. I don't know which are worse.

From a Google search, it appears the Madisonville Boyz are some drag racing group.

The Baham family received a land grant from the Spanish Governor (located in Mobile, AL) in 1785 of 1,400 acres. Juan Baham laid out the streets in about 1800.

The Bahams were ship builders and the family continues to be carpenters / builders to this day.

The Tennessee and Kentucky volunteers bivouacked in Madisonville (across the river in Del Oaks and Indian Point) prior to the battle of N.O. They were floated across the Lake on barges.

A casino on the river in the 1800's raised the capital for the settlement of large regions of Texas.

Things were bad during the Civil War. So bad that those in New Orleans who would not swear allegiance to the Union were "sentenced to 10 days" in St. Tammany. There is a great lithograph in the 1863 Harper's Weekly showing baws being unloaded on the river banks of Madisonville ... google is your friend.

The ocean going cargo ships built during WWI at Jahncke shipyard were so large they had to be floated out of Lake Ponchartrain on pontoons / barges.

And Madisonville has one of the best gar rodeos around.

Gotta love them Madisonville bawz.

Marie Baham was my Grandmother's dressmaker and seamstress for many years in Covington. My Grannie picked out her fabrics and had Marie make all her clothes. She occasionally went into New Orleans for underclothing and a special occasion dress, but Marie made everything else. I think she died sometime in the late 70's or early 80's.

ETA: It wasn't fun for a kid. I used haul my fat little body up a tree in the 70's looking like a lost, fat Von Trapp because of her special made playclothes.

Even though my family has been in Madisonville since 1854, I still couldn’t join the Madisonville Boyz because I’m not rich enough.

Harper's Weekly, 1863. Citizens from New Orleans that would not swear allegiance to Union were dropped off into St.Tammany Parish for ten days. Interesting is that those live oak trees are still on the banks of the Tchefuncte in Madisonville.

Union soldiers were afraid to go in that area during the war as doing so was most likely a suicide mission; they were subject to being "bushwhacked" by irregular cavalry and mounted infantry units.
