Jefferson Parish
Jefferson Parish is located to the west and south of downtown New Orleans. Jefferson Parish is home to Metairie, Kenner, Harahan, Old Jefferson, Westwego, Gretna, and a few other communities.
Jefferson Parish is also home to the New Orleans Zephyrs. Jefferson Parish also goes as far south as Grand Isle, LA. This is Louisiana's last inhabited barrier island.
While Jefferson Parish did receive a hard hit from Hurricane Katrina, the Parish did get on it's feet quickly and is currently the staging area for rebuilding New Orleans.
