Bossier Parish, Administrative division in northwestern Louisiana, United States.
Bossier Parish encompasses 867 square miles of territory, with 840 square miles of land and several water bodies across northwestern Louisiana.
The parish, established on February 24, 1843, originated from the western section of Claiborne Parish and received its name from Louisiana state senator Pierre Bossier.
