| Natchitoches County, the most remote part of the Territory of Orleans, has a longer history of settlement than New Orleans. It was a hotbed of revolutionary ferver during the French Revolution and its location on the southwest frontier of the United States kept it in the minds of America's leaders as the new territory tried to organize its new citizens. | |

| The Ouachita country was explored by DeSoto, LaSalle, Iberville, Bienville, St. Denis and Tonti. When the settlers in Natchez were massacred in 1729, Europeans abandoned the valley. Finally the Spanish granted large portions of the district to two adventurers and the title to much of the land was disputed in U.S. courts into the mid-19th century. | |
