Leesburg
Lake County's oldest city
Leesburg is the oldest city in Lake County, settled in 1857, and it anchors the county's northern market with a historic downtown and the Harris Chain of Lakes. It is a center for boating, fishing, and lakefront living, with brick streets, shops, and restaurants downtown.
