Overview

Lousana is a hamlet in central Alberta, Canada within Red Deer County. It is located 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) east of the junction of Highway 21 and Highway 42, approximately 45 kilometres (28 mi) southeast of Red Deer. The hamlet was named by William Henry Biggs, a settler from Louisiana, Missouri, who sold a portion of his land to the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway around 1912 for the townsite. Biggs originally proposed naming the settlement "Louisiana" after his hometown. However, the Post Office Department shortened it to Lousana to avoid confusion with the state of Louisiana.
