Stonewall is a town in northern DeSoto Parish, Louisiana, United States.

Colonel Edwards moved his family and possessions from Society Hill, South Carolina to a place they named the Bee Gum Community.

The women came in carriages, the men on horses while their belongings were brought in wagons drawn by oxen and mules.

They went by wagons over the rough, muddy roads or paths, reaching Shreve's Port after a whole day's travel.

Some of the families that have done much toward the building of this community are: Williamson, Powell, Andrews, Loftus, Nicholson, Berry, Gilmer, Lafitte, Hall, and many others.

The route ran from Shreve's Port to Spring Ridge, Stonewall, Kingston, and on to Mansfield.

In 1862, the community moved its center about three miles west to the site of the new Texas & Pacific Railroad.

A supplemental industry to cotton had its meager beginning in 1886 when Mrs. J.J. Marshall bought a registered Jersey cow.

Interstate 49 is located approximately a mile and a half east of the Stonewall city limits.

Tax Collector A. L. Bice, Street Commissioner was Curtis McCune Jr., City Marshall was Elmo Smith, Attorney was Charles Scott and Town Clerk was Dudley Glenn.

It has served at various times as the Fire Department Office, Voting Polls, Town Hall, and General Meeting Place for the citizens of Stonewall.
