Tchoupitoulas Plantation

Part of the old Soniat plantation land became an experimental farm run by Southern University and A&M College in the late 1800s. In 1908 the Colonial Country Club was built on the site of the old Soniat house, and the aviation pioneer John Moisant died in a plane accident at Harahan around 1910. Camp Plauche was set up there in World War II, and the wartime factories spurred growth. The Colonial Golf and Country Club hosted the 1954 New Orleans Women's Open and closed in early 2012.
