Leesville was located in a contested area along the Sabine River after the Louisiana purchase known as "no man's land". To the the west about 10 miles was the ferry crossing of the Sabine River into Texas known as Burr Ferry named after the owner/settler Timothy Burr, 2nd cousin of Vice President Aaron Burr. It is rumored this is where Aaron Burr hid out after shooting Alexander Hamilton in a duel.
Also, Cecil Collins is from there.
