Uneedus is an unincorporated community in Tangipahoa Parish, in the U.S. state of Louisiana. [2]

History

The community's name is derived from shortening and alteration of "You need us", [3] the motto of a local lumber company. [4] A post office called Uneedus was established in 1912, and remained in operation until 1928. [5]
