About Hosston

Hosston is a quiet village in northern Caddo Parish, home to around 250 residents.

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.
