Campti is a town in the northern part of Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, United States. The population was 1,057 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Natchitoches Micropolitan Statistical Area. Campti is a flat area of mostly farmland. It sets on the eastern bank of the Red River. Considerable cattle are also raised in the general area.

Lakeview Junior and Senior High School, a modern consolidated school structure housing pre-kindergarten and grades nine through twelve, is located east of Campti on Louisiana Highway 9. The school is 55 percent white in enrollment,[2] drawing students from around the parish. Students from as far north as Ashland attend Lakeview. The town of Campti is 75 percent African American in population.

During the American Civil War, Union General A.J. Smith, with two brigades, reached Campti to assist Admiral David Dixon Porter's gunboats on the Red River there. Confederate General St. John Richardson Liddell's scattered troops had been harassing the Union fleet but quickly retreated as Union General A. J. Smith's overwhelming force arrived on April 13, 1864. Smith and his men burned what was left of Campti, on April 14, 1863. The gunboats were returned safely upriver to Grand Ecore in Natchitoches Parish.[3]

History

Tradition maintains that the name "Campti" was derived from the name of a Caddo Indian chief, known as "Le Roi Campti" (The King Campti).[4] Church records in Natchitoches show that a French missionary, Père Valentin, visited the community of Campti around 1745; this was the first written record of Campti during the period of French Louisiana.

The parish was developed for large cotton plantations, and a majority of the population were enslaved African Americans in the antebellum years. But by the time of the Civil War, a number of free people of color also lived in Campti and the area. They were known to be related to several of the old white families, who acknowledged them, and they were generally well accepted. According to one authority on this area, they lived nearly as white. At least nine men of color, and likely more, enlisted in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War and "easily entered a predominately white military company."[5]
