St. Bernard Parish

St. Bernard Parish is located at the southeastern tip of Louisiana, with much of its land extending deep into the Gulf of Mexico. The parish is slowly repopulating after Hurricane Katrina devastated the area, with a present population of roughly 41,000 and growing. The parish was founded in 1807 and is named for Bernardo de Galvez. Located in the city of Arabi is the Chalmette National Battlefield and Cemetery, which commemorates the famed Battle of New Orleans. Also located within St. Bernard Parish is the San Bernardo Scenic Byway, where motorists can enjoy a beautiful drive though the parish passing vibrant oak trees and historic sites such as the aforementioned Battlefield. Besides neighboring the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi River, St. Bernard Parish shares its borders with Orleans Parish to the west and Plaquemines Parish to the south.
