Bush is a small place in Louisiana, United States. It's called an "unincorporated community" because it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's managed by the larger area around it, which is St. Tammany Parish.
Bush is located in the northeastern part of St. Tammany Parish. You can find it along Louisiana Highway 21, south of a place called Sun and on the way to Bogalusa. Bush is also considered part of the larger New Orleans metropolitan area, which includes big cities like New Orleans, Metairie, and Kenner. A river called the Bogue Chitto River flows about 1.45 miles north of Bush.
