Boyce, Louisiana

Boyce is a town in northern Rapides Parish, Louisiana, United States.

It is part of the Alexandria, Louisiana Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Being of Irish descent, Boyce, and/or his son Henry Archinard Boyce, gave all the streets Irish names as he did his own cotton farmland, 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.

As of the 2020 United States census, there were 888 people, 352 households, and 227 families residing in the town.

23.2% of all households were made up of individuals, and 11.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
