I know I've read stuff about it kind of being a lawless area of sorts and I know for a fact that a bunch of wild arse folks settled that area early on. Tickfaw was in particular pretty bad at one time.


Tangipahoa used have the nickname of "Bloody Tangipahoa" after reconstruction and well into the 20th century it was known for vigilante justice.

The Stennis Space Center and a small Naval training base are on the Mississippi side. There is a 125 acre buffer zone out there. Is any of it in Louisiana?.
