Hammond

The landscape around Hammond is a low, wooded stretch of the Gulf Coastal Plain north of Lake Pontchartrain, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. The city is the seat of Tangipahoa Parish and belongs to Louisiana’s Florida Parishes region. Southeastern Louisiana University, founded in 1925, gives Hammond a strong college-town presence, while Amtrak’s City of New Orleans stops here on its historic north–south route. The Tangipahoa River runs nearby, placing the city between pine-country Louisiana and the wetlands nearer the coast.
