Location
Houma is the parish seat of Terrebonne Parish, the principal city of the Houma–Thibodaux area. Canals, bayous, and levees thread through neighborhoods, linking downtown, shipyards, and wetlands at the edge of the Gulf Coast.
Economy
Houma’s working coast drives marine services, energy support, shipbuilding, seafood, and healthcare. Professional services, education, and small business add resilience, while cultural tourism highlights bayou life and culinary traditions.
Culture
Cajun and Native influences shape music, food, and festivals. Museums, art centers, and seasonal events celebrate local heritage, and nearby refuges and scenic byways draw anglers, birders, and paddlers.
