Keithville is an unincorporated community in Caddo Parish, Louisiana, United States.

[1] Keithville came into existence when two railroads, the Southern Pacific and the Houston-Shreveport, met on properties of the Keith brothers in the early 1880s.

Construction was begun in 1904 by Tom Hudnall, and the first service was held on October 4 of that year.

Originally used on a locomotive, the bell came from a plantation in Coushatta in Red River Parish.

[4] Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections operated the Forcht-Wade Correctional Center in Keithville,[5] located in the Eddie D. Jones Nature Park.
