Southdown

Built around a 19th-century sugar plantation, Southdown grew into a residential part of present-day Houma in Terrebonne Parish. The Southdown Plantation House, a Greek Revival landmark, recalls the era when sugarcane shaped this low-lying corner of southern Louisiana. Bayou Terrebonne runs through the wider Houma area, linking the community to the bayous and wetlands that define the region’s geography and livelihoods. Southdown also sits within a parish known for its strong Cajun heritage and close ties to the Gulf Coast.
