About Bossier City

Bossier City sits directly across the Red River from Shreveport and together they form the largest metropolitan area in Northwest Louisiana. Home to Barksdale Air Force Base, the city has a strong military and government workforce. The Boardwalk on the riverfront and a growing hospitality sector make it a lively place to settle.
