In the 1830s the site of Bossier City was Elysian Grove, a plantation bought by James Cane and his second wife, Mary Doal Cilley Bennett Cane. Cane had come to the area with his first wife, Rebecca Bennett, and her brother William Bennett and his wife, and they ran a trading post across the river in Caddo territory at Bennett's Bluff. The partners took a one-seventh share in the new Shreve Town, which became Shreveport. Elysian Grove fronted the Red River, where the Texas Trail crossed, and a ferry ran between the two settlements. The plantation's dock appears in old ferry logs as Cane's Landing, and for a short time the place was called Cane City.
In 1843 land east of the Red River was separated from the Natchitoches District and Claiborne Parish as Bossier Parish, named for Pierre Evariste John Baptiste Bossier, a Creole general of French descent who became a cotton planter there, among the first European settlers after most Native Americans had been forcibly removed. In the 1840s the great westward migration brought many settlers through the area, and by 1850 more than 200 wagons a week were passing through, many bound for Texas. During the Civil War, Confederate companies shipped out from Cane's Landing by steamboat, and Mrs. Cane hosted hundreds of officers and soldiers. Her plantation was fortified to protect Shreveport with three batteries centered on Fort Kirby Smith, and the war in the region ended at Shreveport in 1865 with the surrender of the Trans-Mississippi Department. From 1874 to 1886 the 9-mile Shed Road, the first all-weather turnpike in the South, ran from Red Chute to the Red River. Sources Wikipedia: Bossier City, Louisiana
