North Louisiana's Strategic Location Allows Businesses to Reach Their Customers
Since even before the Louisiana Purchase, our region's strategic location has been integral to our success. Historically, our region served as a prominent launching point for expansion-minded settlers heading west and a vibrant agricultural powerhouse where commodities were collected and sent via the Red and Ouachita Rivers to market. Today, North Louisiana continues to act as a strategic distribution hub for the entire South.
