St. Roch, Louisiana

Encyclopedia : S : ST : STR : St. Roch, Louisiana

St. Roch is a fictional city in the Hawkman comic series, the home town of Hawkman and Hawkgirl, patterned after New Orleans, Louisiana in that state. Chronologically within the DC universe, it has existed since the founding of Louisiana and has played home to many other characters in DC's history, though most of these characters were previous lives of Hawkman and Hawkgirl. There is in fact a small neighborhood in New Orleans called St. Roch.

Geographical Details and Landmarks

The city has been described as being part of Orleans Parish, thus establishing that in the DC Universe that parish is divided between St. Roch and New Orleans.

Notable facilities in St. Roch include Stonechat House, the museum run by Carter Hall (Hawkman) and housing memorabilia from all his lives.
