I am so very proud to welcome you to our great city of Natchitoches. Ripe with natural beauty, numerous historic sites, and a legendary history as the oldest permanent settlement in the Louisiana Purchase,    Natchitoches has been home to generations of local families for centuries. So, it goes without saying that we are most proud of our city’s greatest asset – the people of our community. They make the city what it is today, bringing a commitment to excellence, a great desire for supporting each other in times of celebration and in crisis, and the ability to make any conversation feel like you’re sitting in the warmth of their living rooms. 

By electing me as Mayor, we’ve made history again and our people have demonstrated their commitment to building a better tomorrow for each and every resident that calls Natchitoches home. Together, we can solve problems and develop solutions with our friends and neighbors to achieve that common goal. We are committed to working hard to ensure all of our residents have an equal opportunity to live their dreams and build a bright future for their children, as well as their children’s children. 

As you peruse our website, you will find numerous resources available to both residents and visitors, from tourism information and local attractions, to community services and how to do business in Natchitoches. Join us, as we help shape the future of our great city, now and in the years to come.

I look forward to seeing you soon!

God Bless You!

Ronnie Williams, Jr., Mayor
