Residents already know the truth: Ruston is one of the best cities to live in, bar none.

And now, USA Today has Ruston as one of the nominees for a poll for “Best Historic Small Town.”

“We were blown away that we were nominated for the best historic small town,” Ruston’s Main Street director Amy Stegall said. “This means so much as a Main Street community that we have been selected as an nominee. Historic preservation is a huge part of the main street world, and to see our efforts recognized at this level is awesome.

“We encourage everyone to get out and vote because it recognizes the hard work of our community to ensure that Ruston’s unique identity remains even as we continue to grow.”

As of publication, Ruston is ranked second out of 20, behind Ludington, Mich.
