St. Charles Parish
Located in the southeastern region of Louisiana, St. Charles Parish was founded in 1807 and is named after Saint Charles, the patron saint of Italy. The parish has a population of over 52,000 residents and its parish seat is located in Hahnville. The parish was formed from the “Côte des Allemands,” also known as the “German Coast,” which was an area ripe with German settlers in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Many famous professional athletes are from St. Charles Parish, including recent Super Bowl winner Ed Reed and former LSU women’s basketball coach Dana “Pokey” Chatman.
