Summary
[edit]DescriptionHouma, Louisiana at night 2009.jpg |
English: Houma is the parish seat of Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, United States, and the largest principal city of the Houma–Bayou Cane–Thibodaux Metropolitan Statistical Area. The city's powers of government have been absorbed by the parish, which is now run by the Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government. The population was 32,393 at the 2000 census. There are many unincorporated areas adjacent to the city of Houma; the largest, Bayou Cane, is an urbanized area commonly referred to by locals as Houma but is not included in the 2000 census count, and is in fact a separate census-designated place. The name Houma derives from the Houmas Indian tribe, not recognized by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Houma and the surrounding communities are steeped in Cajun tradition and culture. The area is famous for its food, fishing, swamps, music, and hospitality. Houma is also known, although not as well as New Orleans, for its Mardi Gras festivities. Downtown Houma offers many attractions such as an aquatic wildlife museum, monuments to local armed forces, and famous eateries such as Cafe' Milano, Bilello's Cafe and the Main Street pub. Although Houma is quickly changing and developing, many of the residents in the surrounding small communities continue to make their living as their ancestors did. They are shrimpers, oystermen, crabbers, fishermen, and trappers although occupations of the oil industry and shipping are also becoming quite popular. Despite the rapidly changing face of the area, many long-standing traditions and lifestyles remain to remind one of the area's rich cultural history. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houma,_Louisiana en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_... |
