Stretching across the north banks of Lake Pontchartrain, the region commonly recognized as the Northshore encompasses three parishes — St. Tammany, Tangipahoa and Washington. Together they span over 2,600 square miles and are home to more than 440,000 people. Boasting topography that spans from forests, to swamps to farmland, the Northshore is equally as diverse when it comes to its business scene — from agricultural, to high tech and manufacturing to healthcare, you’ll find it all here, along with a quality of life that’s been drawing, and keeping, Louisianans on the top side of the lake for hundreds of years.
