Amite, Louisiana, USA: A Tranquil Town in Southeast Louisiana
Amite is a historic town in eastern Tangipahoa County, Louisiana, United States, located on the banks of the Amite River near the Mississippi border, about 60 miles from the state capital of Baton Rouge. Founded in the mid-1800s, its name is derived from a local Native American language meaning "river" or "waters," demonstrating its deep connection to the waterways. With a population of approximately 4,200 (2020 figures), the town is known for its quiet rural atmosphere, friendly community and rich history. Historically, the economy was based on agriculture and forestry, and today it retains a traditional way of life while incorporating modern conveniences.
