Founded by the French in 1714, Natchitoches is the oldest permanent European settlement in the territory of the Louisiana Purchase, and its brick-paved Front Street and historic district along Cane River Lake reflect three centuries of French, Spanish and Creole history. The town is home to Northwestern State University, and the economy centers on education, tourism and agriculture. Natchitoches is also known for its meat pies and for serving as the backdrop for the 1989 film Steel Magnolias, which was shot in town.

Natchitoches is about an hour from Shreveport and Alexandria and much farther from New Orleans and Baton Rouge, with no airline service of its own. Natchitoches Regional Airport is just south of town, making it easy to fly in for a weekend of history, food and festivals. The town’s Christmas Festival of Lights, held each season since the 1920s, draws large crowds, and the Cane River Creole National Historical Park and Melrose Plantation preserve the region’s Creole heritage.
