About Hosston
Hosston is a quiet village in northern Caddo Parish, home to around 250 residents. Situated along U.S. Route 71, it offers a peaceful rural setting roughly half an hour north of Shreveport and only minutes from the Arkansas state line. State Highway 2 runs right through town as well, making it easy to hop over to neighboring communities like Vivian and Plain Dealing.
Founded by the Hoss family in the late 1800s, the community has kept its laid-back, small-town atmosphere over the years. Local students are served by the Caddo Parish School District, and residents typically take the straightforward drive down Route 71 into Shreveport for work, major shopping, and healthcare. It is a calm place to settle down for anyone looking for open space and a slower pace of life.
