Discover Alexandria
Alexandria grew up on the Red River beside the French trading outpost of Poste du Rapides, a gathering place of traders, Caddo people and merchants at the edge of the farmland bordering the largely unsettled country to the north. It also linked the south to El Camino Real and to Natchitoches, the oldest permanent settlement in the Louisiana Purchase.
More about Alexandria
Alexander Fulton, a businessman from Washington County, near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, received a land grant from Spain, and the first organized settlement was made in the 1780s. In 1801 territorial Governor William C.C. Claiborne appointed Fulton coroner of Rapides Parish, and in 1805 Fulton and his partner Thomas Harris Maddox laid out the town and named it for Fulton. The earliest surviving deed for an Alexandria resident dates from June 24, 1801. Alexandria was incorporated as a town in 1818 and received a city charter in 1832. In 1942 Alexandria was the scene of the Lee Street Riot, an outbreak of racial violence between mostly civilians and military police. Witnesses said as many as 20 people may have been killed, but the official report listed only three soldiers critically injured and mentioned no deaths. Sources Wikipedia: Alexandria, Louisiana
