Three States is an unincorporated community in Caddo Parish, Louisiana, Miller County, Arkansas, and Cass County, Texas, United States. The community is at the point where three states meet: Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana. In 2000, the population was 45. The Louisiana side of Three States is part of the Shreveport – Bossier City metropolitan area, while the Arkansas side is part of the Texarkana metropolitan area.

History

The Three States area may have been developed during an oil boom in the early 1920s. County maps from the next decade showed homes and businesses scattered along the highway. It then showed houses on the Texas side of the community and small businesses on the Louisiana and Arkansas sides in the last half of the 20th century. Its population was 45 in 2000.

Geography

Three States is located on Texas State Highway 77, 9 mi (14 km) southeast of Atlanta on the eastern border of Cass County, the northwestern border of Caddo Parish in Louisiana, and the southwestern corner of Miller County in Arkansas.

Education

Kids who live on the Texas side of the community attend the Atlanta Independent School District, the Louisiana side is in the Caddo Parish School District, and the Arkansas side is served by the Fouke School District.
