Leesburg, Texas

Leesburg is an unincorporated community in southwestern Camp County, Texas, United States. Although Leesburg is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code of 75451.

It was the site of the public burning of nineteen-year-old Wylie McNeely in 1921. Five hundred white people gathered to watch McNeely, who was black, be burned alive at a stake by a mob after he was accused of assault by a white girl.

Leesburg lies along Texas State Highway 11 on the Louisiana and Arkansas Railway, 7 mi (11 km) west of the city of Pittsburg in western Camp County.

Leesburg had two schools in 1896. Since 1955, its schools have been consolidated into the Pittsburg Independent School District.
