Discover Houma
The Houma area was settled by the Chitimacha and then by the Houma people, for whom the town was named. Land the Spanish had recognized as belonging to the Houma was not recognized by the United States after the Louisiana Purchase. Present-day Houma was founded in 1832 and incorporated in 1848. In the years before the Civil War the area was developed for sugarcane plantations, sited along the rivers and bayous for access to water transport, and sugarcane remained important after the war and into the 20th century.
