Slidell, City in Louisiana, United States.
Slidell stretches along the northeast shore of Lake Pontchartrain, featuring residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and natural waterways across 15 square miles.
The Louisiana State Legislature chartered Slidell in 1888 during the construction of the New Orleans and Northeastern Railroad connecting New Orleans to Meridian.
The Slidell Museum presents exhibitions about railroad heritage, while local restaurants serve traditional Creole and Cajun dishes such as seafood gumbo and jambalaya.
The city maintains direct access to Interstate 10, Interstate 12, and Amtrak services, connecting residents to New Orleans and the broader Gulf Coast region.
NASA facilities established in the 1960s transformed this railroad town into a technological center, contributing to space program developments and demographic changes.
