"The most popular version of the origin of Cheniere au Tigre’s name concerns a party exploring the areas around the beginning of the 19th century. As the story goes, the party left a boy to watch a boat at a place called Hell Hole Bayou. When they returned, they found him clawed nearly to death and speculated that it had been done by a large wildcat."
