Houma, Louisiana, was the setting for the fictional comic books known as the Swamp Thing from 1994. The 1996 movie, The Apostle, was filmed here, as were parts of the 1999 film Crazy in Alabama.
Aside from being the South's version of Hollywood, the city of Houma is the largest in Terrebonne Parish, and home to more than 33,700 people. Bayou Cane, also considered a part of this city, is a highly urbanized area. You'll learn about the homes for rent here soon enough, but what you will experience as soon as you arrive is the culture. The area has strong traditions and is known for its legendary Mardi Gras festivals. The city's historic district is actually listed on the National Register of Historic Places. For something to do after your apartment search, check out the Bayou Terrebonne Waterlife Museum and the Houma Terrebonne Civic Center. The later offers numerous monuments to local armed forces.
