Don't know the origin of Mira's naming. Don't think any rail runs through there.

Ida and Mira were named after daughters of landowners of land that railroad went through. I grew up in Hosston. When I was a kid the tracks went all the way to Texarkana. They were removed from Texarkana to Hosston because Bayou State Oil's refinery at Hosston still shipped oil by rail. Once the refinery closed the tracks were taken up to Shreveport.
