Leesburg history:

Here is a history page for Leesburg.

Early on in the County history, what is now Leesburg was chosen as the location for the courthouse. Nicholas Minor owned the land in 1757. The Virginia Assembly chose the location on 8 June 1757. By 15 June 1758, it was approved. Minor submitted a plan for the Town of Leesburg which was accepted by the Assembly in September of 1758. By October of 1758, the Governor, Francis Fauquier, also accepted the plan.
Before Leesburg came into existence as the official name, the area was first known as George Town after George II of England. It was renamed later for the Lee Family. More specifically, it was in honor of Thomas Lee who was the governor of Virginia from 1749 to 1750 when he died in office.

During the War of 1812, Leesburg served as the temporary capital of the United States when the valuable papers of the Federal Archives (including the Declaration of Independence and Constitution) were brought to town for safekeeping. President James Monroe lived just south of town at Oak Hill, where he wrote the Monroe Doctrine in 1823.
