History

In 1930, Leesburg held its first 'Watermelon Festival', an annual tradition that would last until watermelon production in the area dwindled to the point that watermelons for the last festival had to be brought in from outside the area. Several of Evander Lee's brothers followed him to the area. One of these brothers, Calvin Lee, was credited with giving the town its name. As of 2005, the population recorded by the US Census Bureau is 19,086.^{[http://www.census.gov/popest/cities/tables/SUB-EST2004-04-12.xls]}.
