Oil City pairs a proud energy legacy with lakeside living on Caddo Lake. The town spotlights the early oil boom at the Louisiana State Oil and Gas Museum, and it’s an easy jump to glassy water for fishing, paddling, and birding. Nature lovers roam the cypress wetlands of Caddo Lake National Wildlife Refuge or, just across the state line, camp at Caddo Lake State Park.
Day to day, life runs at a comfortable pace. Families are served by Caddo Parish Public Schools, with North Caddo Elementary–Middle and North Caddo High minutes away. Community gatherings, youth sports, and Friday night lights bring neighbors together, while local cafés and bait shops keep conveniences close.
Regional access is straightforward. Shreveport sits about 25 miles south for employers, medical centers, and entertainment, while nearby Vivian and Mooringsport cover everyday errands. As part of Caddo Parish, residents tap into parish parks, libraries, and public safety services.
From affordable homes and roomy lots to water-focused weekends and rich history, Oil City is a satisfying place to put down roots. When you’re ready to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a trusted local agent to guide the process from first conversation to closing.
