The city of Leesburg is located in Lake County and has a population of approximately 16,000. Leesburg is also situated at the head of the Oklawaha River system between Lake Griffin and Lake Harris. In 1857, Evander McIver Lee and several of his brothers settled in the area of modern-day Leesburg. In 1875, the town of Leesburg was incorporated and became the county seat of Sumter County for a short time until Lake County was formed from portions of Sumter and Orange counties. During the early part of the 20th century, Leesburg became a significant part of the watermelon industry in the United States. Today, Leesburg is a popular retirement destination because of its proximity to Orlando, which is less than an hour away via US-27 South and the Florida Turnpike.
