Leesburg is the county seat of Loudon County, Virginia. It was founded in 1758 and named for a relative of the infamous Robert E. Lee, Thomas Lee. Famous families from American history lived there, and it became the center of government during the War of 1812.
Sitting as it did on the northernmost border of the Confederate States of America as the Civil War broke out, the town changed hands between the north and south over 150 times, and saw much battle and chaos during the war.
