A Look Back: Lee Creek's History

Lee Creek has an interesting past. Long ago, it was known by a different name: "Cove City." This community was officially planned and mapped out in 1880, and back then, it was called Cove City.

The name "Lee Creek" came from the nearby stream, which is also called Lee Creek. Over time, the community started using the name of the creek. In the 1960s, there was a suggestion to change the name again, this time to "Leescreek," but that idea didn't happen. So, it remains Lee Creek today.
