Shreveport offers you the 'lagniappe', which means a little something extra Shreveport-Bossier City is situated on the Red River in northwest Louisiana.

Commonly known as the 'Ark-La-Tex', the point where Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas meet.

The Shreveport-Bossier City area is home to Barksdale Air Force Base, as well as numerous colleges and universities, theaters, lakes, golf courses, beautiful housing areas, churches, and great schools.

With a population of nearly 400,000 in the city's metropolitan region, the area promises much to do while maintaining a reasonable cost of living and an excellent, temperate climate.

a little Cajun, and since we're less than 15 minutes from the Texas border, a little Lone Star too.

Shreveport-Bossier boasts elegant Southern charm and a relaxed attitude that suggests you kick your boots off and stay a while to enjoy year-round festivals, Vegas-style gaming, great local dining experiences, live music and family attractions.
