Gilmer and James Blair Gilmer purchased a vast area of land from the U.S. Gov- ernment and established a plantation in what is now North Bossier Parish. Because of their belief in fair, honest deal- ings with their own employees and all others, they gave the plantation the name Plain Dealing. The owners decided to establish a town on the new rail- road which was being built through the areag conse- quently, on July 25, 1888, a public sale of lots was held and the village of Guernshine was born. The name was soon changed to Plain Dealing. During June of 1890, the citizens adopted a charter incorporating an area two miles square. The charter was amended by a vote of 17 for and none against changing the size to lui miles square during August, 1890. In 1927 the village of Plain Dealing advanced to the status of a town. The economy of the town was for many years based upon agriculture with family farms lining every road leading into Plain Dealing. Changing times led to a cattle and forestry economy. These are now supplemented by manu- facturing jobs in surrounding towns . 6 . A
