Shreveport Vacation Rentals, Hotels, Weather, Map and Attractions

Shreveport is the third-largest city in the state of Louisiana. It's located in the northwest portion of the state and is separated from neighboring Bossier City by the Red River. Many locals refer to the two cities as Shreveport-Bossier. As of the 2000 census, the population of Shreveport was 200,145 resident. Shreveport was founded in 1836 by the Shreve Town Company, a corporation established to develop a town at the juncture of the newly navigable Red River and the Texas Trail, an overland route into the newly independent Republic of Texas and, prior to that time, into Mexico. Today, Shreveport is the commercial and cultural center of the Ark-La-Tex, which is an area where Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas meet. Shreveport is well-known for its many special events throughout the year, including Cinco De Mayo Fiesta Shreveport, the Red River Revel, Mudbug Madness (a celebration of crawfish,) Holiday in Dixie, the Louisiana State Fair, the Independence Bowl and the Louisiana Film Festival. Shreveport is also home to many museums, galleries, and gardens, including the National Rose Garden, which is the world's largest rose garden. Shreveport has live theater and the symphony, gaming, and shopping at the Louisiana Boardwalk. Of course, the city is a smorgasbord of fine restaurants featuring mouthwatering Creole and Cajun delights, as well as other regional and ethnic foods. You can take a ride down the Red River or enjoy the outdoors in any number of other ways, such as hiking, picnicking, fishing, boating or golf. Shreveport is a mix of modern convenience and natural beauty on Louisiana's "other side."
