A Look Back: How Leo-Cedarville Started
Long ago, Leo and Cedarville were two separate villages. Cedarville was officially planned out in 1838. Leo started a bit later in 1849, and it was first called the Town of Hamilton.
In 1996, these two villages decided to join together and become one town: Leo-Cedarville. They did this so that the nearby big city of Fort Wayne couldn't take them over. This way, they could keep their own local government and community feel.
