A Look Back in Time: Leesburg's History
Leesburg has a history that stretches back to the 1800s. In the 19th century, which means the 1800s, Leesburg was a busier place than it is today. It had a hotel where travelers could stay and six different stores where people could buy goods.
A post office was first opened in Leesburg in 1817. This was an important place for people to send and receive letters and packages. The post office served the community for many years until it closed down in 1917.
