More about Shreveport, Louisiana

The city is named for Henry Miller Shreve, an engineer and steamboat builder. Shreve reached the area in 1833, while removing a jam of driftwood about 260 km (about 160 mi) long that was blocking navigation on the Red River. His work camp formed the nucleus of the present city, which incorporated as a town in 1839, and as a city in 1878. After Baton Rouge fell into Union hands in 1862 during the American Civil War, Shreveport was the Confederate capital of Louisiana. Industrial growth accelerated in the area in 1906 after the discovery of vast oil deposits at nearby Caddo Lake. Riverboat gambling was introduced to Shreveport in 1994.
