Before Capt. Henry Miller Shreve arrived in northwest Louisiana in 1833, it was possible to walk across the Red River without getting wet. Shreve spent more than 5 years clearing the Great Raft—a logjam that choked the river for 180 miles. The bustling frontier settlement on the river at Bennett and Cane's Bluff benefited immensely from the opening of the channel. When incorporated in 1839, the town honored Shreve by taking his name.
