Welcome to Hero Lands Company
THE HERO COMPANIES PROPERTIES ARE CONCENTRATED IN PLAQUEMINES PARISH BUT WITH REAL ESTATE IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT SITES IN THE NEW ORLEANS AREA.
The HERO companies properties are concentrated in Plaquemines Parish but with real estate in several different sites in the New Orleans area. These family owned companies have properties dating from the early 1900's when our founder, George A. Hero, started investing in the "Westbank" of New Orleans.

Hero Company, Hero Wall Company, Hero Lands Company, New City Company, Wharves & Docks Company, Bayou Barriere Golf Club, and Numa C. Hero & Son.
