The City of Pineville, Louisiana

As the Mayor of Pineville, I would like to welcome you to the City of Pineville web site. The City of Pineville is a family friendly community located in the heart of Louisiana. It's the kind of place you'd like to raise your children in.  Located in the geographic center of the state, Pineville's unique character is rooted in its 300 year history - a history full of colorful people and fascinating tales. Downtown Pineville still boasts much of the heritage with buildings built before the turn of the century, cemeteries that date back to the 1700's and the only museum in the state that focuses on city government. At the same time newer contemporary developments show our city's tremendous pride in our future.

The city is built on the rich diversity of our arts and culture, education, business and services, recreation, and volunteer sectors. We are a city that takes pride in all that we do, working in partnership with the strong communities within our city. We are also proud to be home to Louisiana Christian University,  which is consistently ranked by US News and World Report as one of "America's Best Colleges."

I invite you to browse through our web site. You will find that we are a city "Open for Business;" we are a city committed to economic development, committed to partnerships, and most importantly, a city strongly committed to the future. I welcome the opportunity to share this vision with you.

If you have any questions, comments or feedback, please be sure to take advantage of the many opportunities on these pages to get in touch with me, members of the City Council as well as administration staff.

Thank you for visiting the City of Pineville web site!

Sincerely,
Joseph E. Bishop
Mayor of Pineville
