Harahan, Louisiana, tucked snug in Jefferson Parish just west of New Orleans, is a snug 2‑square‑mile city hugging the banks of the Mississippi River. Incorporated in the 1920s and named for Illinois Central Railroad president James Theodore Harahan, the city grew from humble agricultural roots on the old Soniat Plantation into a vibrant commuter haven .

Historically, Harahan served as a critical junction—long before the Huey P. Long Bridge was erected, railcars crossed the river here via ferry, marking the area as an early transportation hub. This legacy of connectivity set the stage for its mid-century boom. By the 1950s, improvements in infrastructure and population gains elevated Harahan to city status—officially in November 1953, once it crossed the 5,000‑resident threshold .

By the 2020 census, Harahan’s population stood at 9,116 . Yet, recent estimates suggest a modest decline to around 8,466 in 2025, down about 7% since 2020 . It’s a cozy, stable community with a tightly knit feel.

For family‑friendly fun, you’ve got local favorites like Adventure Quest laser tag and bowling at Colonial Lanes. And for nature lovers, Bayou Segnette State Park and the Barataria Preserve offer beautiful escapes just a stone’s throw away.

In short, Harahan is a small-town gem with big-city access, a rich railroad and river legacy, and plenty of heart.
