Houma, Administrative center in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, United States
Located 55 miles from New Orleans, Houma extends across 2500 square miles of wetlands and swamps near the Gulf of Mexico coast.
The settlement began in 1832 when European colonists established a community in lands previously inhabited by the Chitimacha and Houma Native American tribes.
The city maintains French, Native American, and Creole traditions through regional music performances, local festivals, and traditional Louisiana cooking methods.
The Houma-Terrebonne Airport provides transportation access, while US Route 90 and LA Highway 311 connect the city to surrounding regions.
The Bayou Country Crawfish Trail features 40 destinations where visitors can purchase fresh seafood and experience local food preparation techniques.
