About Amite, LA

The original settlement was born on the banks of the Tangipahoa River, adjacent to a Choctaw Indian village. Legend has it that the site was chosen when Choctaw Chief Baptiste welcomed the earliest settlers. Baptiste was the last Choctaw chief in the region. "Amite" has been said to be a Choctaw word for "red ant", signifying "thrift" or to have meant "friendship", from the French, "amité." Portions of present day Amite City were entered from the United States as early as 1813. In 1852 the New Orleans, Jackson, and Great Northern Railroad was chartered in both Louisiana and Mississippi.
