Leesburg is a city of more than 20,000 people located in Lake County, Florida. Nicknamed "The Lakefront City," it is tucked between Lake Harris and Lake Griffin in the central part of the state.

Leesburg was a major center for watermelon production at the beginning of the 20th century. Watermelons were so popular in the area that residents started celebrating a Watermelon Festival in 1930. The festival was held annually through 1957 when it was finally stopped as a result of a massive slump in the production of watermelon in the city.
Following the sharp drop in watermelon production, the city of Leesburg relied on its citrus industry for years, until growers were forced to move down the Florida peninsula as a result of the destructive freezes of early to mid-1980s.
