They are known as "ox lots." He originally named the town Wharton, dedicating it to Thomas Jefferson. In 1816, when the legislature chartered the town, they renamed it in honor of General Leonard Covington of Natchez, a hero in the War of 1812. Collins did not happily agree with the renaming of the town he founded. Covington has many historic buildings in its central area. The Covington area is noted for its clean air and water. Covington is the Parish seat for St. Tammany Parish. St. Tammany Parish history: The area that is now St. Tammany Parish was first explored in 1699 by a French-Canadian, Pierre Le Moyne Iberville. He was also the first European to view Lake Pontchartrain. The Parish was named for Delaware Indian Chief, Tamenand.
