LEESBURG
Lake County • Florida Local
Leesburg was first settled in 1857
Leesburg is in central Florida, between Lake Harris and Lake Griffin, at the head of the Ocklawaha River system. It is about 45 miles NW of Orlando, 270 Miles N of Miami, and 221 Miles SW of the State Capitol at Tallahassee.
Leesburg was first settled in 1857 by Evander McIver Lee. Several of his brothers followed him to the area. One of them, Calvin Lee, was credited with giving the town its name. The city was incorporated in 1875, and was designated as the county seat of Sumter County for a time. When Lake County was formed in 1887, Tavares was designated as its seat.
In spring 2017, the Holding Company of the Villages planned to acquire 2,600 acres north and south of County Road 470 along the east side of Florida’s Turnpike for future development.
The deal with the mega-retirement community has passed due diligence by the City of Leesburg City Commission. This age-restricted zoning ordinance changes have already been approved by the City of Leesburg Planning Commission (with the city commission giving final approval). The initial plans call for building approximately 4,500 homes and some commercial development in the area.
The City of Leesburg’s residents, businesses, retirees, students, and neighborhoods embraces cultural equality, diversity, inclusion, equity and has many positive-minded and inspiring people as well as historic business-friendly Leesburg communities.
