It is part of the Alexandria, Louisiana Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 1,190 at the 2000 census. The community is nearly 75 per cent African American. HistoryOriginally called Cotile Landing, the name was changed to Boyce in 1880, when the Texas and Pacific Railroad made Boyce its terminal point. The town was named for Judge Henry Boyce, who owned the land on which the town was located. Being of Irish descent, Boyce, and/or his son Henry Archinard Boyce, gave all the streets Irish names as he did his own plantation, Ulster, which was immediately adjacent to the town along Bayou Jeunes des Gens (Jean de Jean). The post office was moved more than once but was returned to Boyce in 1883 and the Postal Service chose Boyce, even though there was a majority opposition, because the train depot already carried that name. Under charter of May 7, 1887, Boyce was organized and a council elected.[3] GeographyBoyce is located at {{Coord|31|23|12|N|92|40|14|W|type:city}} (31.386778, -92.670577).[4] According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of {{convert|0.6|sqmi|km2}}, of which {{convert|0.5|sqmi|km2}} is land and {{convert|0.1|sqmi|km2}} (8.62%) is water. A number of small bayous, such as Bayou Jean de Jean and Bayou Helen, are located just outside the town. An island in the Red River North of the town was created with the straightening of the portion of the river next to the Town by the Army Corps of Engineers. The owners of the Island named it St. Alfred Island, after Alfred Boyce Wettermark, (1916-2010).
