Leetown is a small, quiet place located in northern Frederick County, Virginia, in the United States. It's known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a settled area that doesn't have its own local government like a city or town does. Instead, it's governed by the larger county it's part of.
Where is Leetown?
Leetown is easy to find on a map. It sits along Old Charles Town Road (which is also known as Virginia State Route 761). You'll find it where this road meets Gun Club Road (Virginia State Route 666). The community is located to the west of a waterway called Opequon Creek.
A Look at History
Throughout its history, Leetown has had another name. It was also known as Opequon Hill. This older name helps us remember that places can sometimes change how they are called over time. The Geographic Names Information System keeps track of all these names and locations.
