History

Natchitoches was founded as a French outpost on the Red River (Mississippi watershed) River for trade with Spanish-controlled Mexico, with the French presence beginning as early as 1699. It serves as the spring break training location for numerous Rowing (sport) teams, such as Kansas State University, University of Kansas, Wichita State University, Murray State University and Washington University. The settlement's site was established near a village of Natchitoches (tribe) Indians which give the city its name. The population was 17,865 at the 2000 United States Census census.

Natchitoches was established in 1714 by Louis Juchereau de St. The pilot was unable to climb over a pecan tree, possibly due to a fatal heart attack since he had excellent visibility.
