Audi New Orleans is Proud to Serve Covington, LA, Drivers

Nestled in a fork of the Bogue Falaya and Tchefuncte River in St. Tammany Parish, Covington is one of the cultural and commercial hotspots in the Northshore. Known for its historic charm, walkable downtown area, and community, Covington stands out in the wider New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner metro area.

Covington, LA, has roots dating back to the early 1800s, when the area was first settled by Jacques Drieux. Initially known as Wharton, the city was renamed to Covington in 1816 after General Leonard Covington, a prominent figure in the War of 1812. The Bogue Falaya and Tchefuncte River played vital roles in early commerce until a railroad was built through the city in the late 1880s. Nowadays, the site of this railroad is now the Tammany Trace, a popular 31-mile bike trail.

As Louisiana's road system expanded throughout the 20th century, many New Orleans workers moved to Covington, leading to the city's development and growth in recent years. Many commuters use the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway to head to downtown New Orleans, and the expansion of the interstate system led to a rapid population increase in Covington and across the Northshore area.

Nowadays, Covington is home to over 11,500 residents, a prime destination in the heart of the Northshore. With a unique blend of small-town character and modern amenities, plus easy access to New Orleans and the rest of the metro area, Covington has something for everyone. Historic downtown Covington is centered around Boston St, known for its boutique shops, locally owned restaurants, and walkable streets, with historic architecture surrounding the space. The St. Tammany Art Association lies in Covington, home to numerous galleries and cultural events in the city, a creative hub on the Northshore.

Covington is also known for its outdoor recreation options, with the Tammany Trail biking and walking trail and Bogue Falaya River recreation area popular spots for hikes and exercise alike. Nearby nature preserves and green spaces give you plenty of room to spread out and make the most of everything the city has to offer. Our team at Audi New Orleans is proud to continue working with Covington drivers, and we invite you to make the quick 40-minute drive to our showroom via the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway and see what makes us your leading luxury dealership in the area.
