Kentwood, Rural town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana.

Kentwood is a small town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, near the Mississippi border. It features residential neighborhoods and local businesses distributed along its main streets and surrounding roads.

The town was founded in 1888 and named after Amos Kent, who played a role in planning its streets and infrastructure. This early development established the foundation for the community that exists today.

The local Kentwood High Magnet School stands as an educational center where students participate in various academic and extracurricular programs.

The town offers access to the nearby Lake Tangipahoa, a place where visitors can spend time outdoors. Getting around is straightforward, as the main streets are easy to navigate on foot or by car.

Lake Tangipahoa underwent major restoration work and reopened in 2016 after the improvements were completed. This renovation transformed the lake into a renewed recreational destination for the area.
