Historic
When the Civil War ended in 1865, the
South had suffered massive destruction.
Individuals and families on both sides of the
con ict had their li es chan ed ore er
Here in the piney hills of north central
Louisiana, the war had kept its distance, the
closest military action having taken place
in the Red River Valley near Shreveport and
along the Mississippi River at Vicksburg.
With the countryside having been spared,
the war s a termath would hel chart a new
course for the farmers and merchants who
called this area home.
As the Era of Reconstruction took hold, a
new parish was carved from existing ones
in 1873 and named after President Abraham
Lincoln. Word soon reached the young
parish that the Vicksburg, Shreveport and
aci c Railroad would be in to run across
north Louisiana, linking the Deep South
with Texas.
For one individual, this brought to
fruition a lifelong dream of having people
live nearby whom he could call neighbors.
Little did Robert E. Russ know that his
dream for a new town to be located near his
plantation would eventually become known
as “Ruston,” short for Russ town.
By 1884, Ruston was incorporated. Russ
had donated roughly 640 acres for the
town s location and ormer nion Army
surveyors working for the railroad had
laid out unusually wide, spacious avenues
among the towering oaks and pines.
As the town began to take shape, new
churches, businesses, civic organizations
and schools were established. The vast
stands of virgin timber and the availability
of fertile lands for cotton farming fueled the
booming economy.
In 1890, the Louisiana Chautauqua
was chartered in Lincoln Parish and the
community s oundation in education was
laid. Louisiana Tech, established in 1894,
and Gramblin tate ounded in
are the cornerstones upon which the area
strongly stands over a century later.
2017
Ruston
now, a decade into the new century, new
subdivisions are popping up everywhere,
shopping areas on the north side of
town are expanding at a rapid pace, and
opportunities for learning and recreation
continue to expand. Downtown continues
to offer a variety of retail shops and
eateries. Education remains cutting edge.
The Parish has preserved its history
well, and has also managed to expertly
incorporate their history with their modern
rowth rue to Robert Russ s dream
Ruston continues to open its doors to
those looking for a healthy business
environment, an opportunity to receive
a quality education and a great place –
a Peach of a Place – to raise a family.
