History

In 1982, Ozzy Osbourne's guitarist Randy Rhoads was killed in a plane crash at the home of tourbus company owner, Jerry Calhoun. Louis Blues (hockey) Louis Blues center Dan Hinote was born in Leesburg. The canals and gardens of this park have been a centerpiece of the community ever since. 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. Today, most of Leesburg's growth and economic development is the result of the increasing popularity of the area as a retirement destination and the rapid growth of nearby Orlando, Florida St.
