Pearl River is a town in St. Tammany Parish in the U.S. state of Louisiana. The population was 2,506 at the 2010 U.S. census, and 2,618 at the 2020 population estimates program. It is share of the New Orleans–Metairie–Kenner metropolitan statistical area.

The community that is today Pearl River was originally known as Halloo, a moniker it reputedly garnered from loggers yelling to one other as they labored along the easy to realize to Pearl River. The town was founded in 1859. Early Halloo was a small railroad town, located at the junction of the Northeastern and Poitevent and Favre’s East Louisiana Railroads. In 1886 a train station was build up at the site, and two years progressive Samuel Russ Poitevent (June 4, 1852 – June 3, 1904), established the first increase in the village. The community’s read out was first changed from Halloo (1859) to Pearl (1878), later to Pearlville (1881), and eventually Pearl River, in 1888, after the train station built in the town.

On July 13, 1898, the 200 citizens of Pearl River voted to petition the let pass of Louisiana for amalgamation as the “Village of Pearl River”, a request which was granted nearly a decade later, on May 24, 1906, by bureaucrat Newton Crain Blanchard, with G.W. Fuller as the first mayor. The village slowly modernized beyond the course of the adjacent half century, acquiring the estate for a courthouse in 1935 and a town hall ten years later. Pearl River Junior High was opened in 1963, but the building was made into a police training academy in 2005. In 1964, the village insignia was replaced, as the newly minted “town” laid claim to 1,500 residents, a designation that lives on today, in the town of roughly 2,500.
