Discover Shreveport
Shreveport was founded where the Red River met the Texas Trail. The river had been blocked for 180 miles by an intermittent log jam called the Great Raft until Captain Henry Miller Shreve of the Army Corps of Engineers cleared it with a specially built snag boat, the Heliopolis. The Shreve Town Company and its village were named for him. The town stood on land the Caddo sold to the company in 1835. Caddo Parish was created from Natchitoches Parish in 1838 with Shreve Town as its seat, and on March 20, 1839, the town was incorporated as Shreveport, laid out in 64 blocks between the Red River and Cross Bayou.
More about Shreveport
Shreveport became a center of steamboat commerce, shipping cotton and other crops from Caddo Parish plantations, and it had a slave market. In 1860 the city had 2,200 free people and 1,300 enslaved people. After Baton Rouge and Opelousas fell to Union forces, Shreveport served as the Confederate capital of Louisiana from 1863 to 1865. It was a Southern stronghold and headquarters of the Confederate Trans-Mississippi Department, and Fort Albert Sidney Johnston was built on a ridge northwest of the city, where the site remains largely undisturbed. Cut off from the East, the war went on in the Trans-Mississippi for weeks after Lee's surrender, and it was the last Confederate command to surrender, on May 26, 1865.
