Grand Cane is a village in DeSoto Parish, Louisiana, United States.

Prior to the incorporation of the Village of Grand Cane in 1899, the settlement of four families ( Thomas Abington, Israel Rogers, Wright Hobgood, and John Wagner ) influenced the development of the area around two wagon trails that intersected in the sparsely populated area known as the Grand Cane Territory.

In 1881, Amanda Hobgood ( widow of Wright Hobgood ) deeded land to the New Orleans & Pacific Railway and had the Village of Grand Cane laid out in lots and streets.

By 1899, the Village of Grand Cane was incorporated and the first Mayor was E. R.

The Village of Grand Cane, like so many small towns left behind by progress, simply went to sleep until 1993, when the Village used funds from a Rural Development Grant from the State of Louisiana to purchase the Hicks & Richardson Building.

This action spurred the passage of a preservation ordinance, creating the Grand Cane Preservation Commission, which resulted in the subsequent listing on the National Register of Historic Places of several buildings in the Historic District ( Platt, Old Post Office, Cook & Douglas, Hicks & Richardson, & Ricks Bros .).

These buildings joined the Village Hall and the Grand Cane Methodist Church that had obtained earlier listings.

Today, the Historic Village of Grand Cane is strongly supported by members of the Historic Grand Cane Association, the Elected Officials of the Village, and a host of supporters, whose common goal is to keep alive the presence of yesterday as a constant reminder of the importance of preserving our unique past for future generations.

The Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995, including the Village Hall ( Bank of Grand Cane ) which gained National Register status earlier in 1988. The Historic District Status is important, as it recognizes the fact that the exterior of the buildings in this short block a half have remained much the same as when they were built around the turn-of-the-century.

The Historic Village of Grand Cane is the home of the Historic Cook-Hill House Bed and Breakfast.

The Bank of Grand Cane Building, circa 1902, served as a bank serving the community until 1970, when the building was donated to the Village.

It now is occupied as the Historic Village of Grand Cane town hall and is affectionately referred to as " the Village ".

The first Grand Cane Bank was headed by W. H.

In September 2009 the Village of Grand Cane Cultural District was certified by the Louisiana Cultural Districts, Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism.
