The third largest city in Louisiana, Shreveport has been the site of many prominent events in the American south. Second only to New Orleans in Louisiana tourism, Shreveport is considered one of the best cities to live in all of the country.

With a population of over 200,000, Shreveport has all of the amenities that you would expect from a large city. However, it still retains its Southern charm by holding on to many uniquely Southern features.

An extremely relaxing city, Shreveport has a beautiful landscape that has many opportunities for outdoor activity. However, Shreveport is still a very cosmopolitan city and holds a number of riverboat casinos. A constant influx of tourists can be seen throughout Shreveport having a great time. These casinos and the world's largest rose garden, The National Rose Garden, ensures that Shreveport is a city that has a healthy amount of buzz to it.

Founded in 1836 by the Shreve Town Company as a meeting point of the Red River and the Texas Trail, Shreveport has undergone incredible development during its history. The host to such lively annual events as the Red River Revel, Mudbug Madness, and the Louisiana State Fair, Shreveport is one of America's most underrated cities.
