Last updated December 31, 2008 History From the Portait and Biographical Album of Green Lake, Marquette and Waushara Counties, Wisconsin - Acme Publishing Co. 1890 Leon is the second of the middle tier of towns from the east line of the county, bounded north by Saxville, east by Poysippi, south by Warren and west by Mount Morris. Pine River and some of its tributaries flow through the northern part. Jackling's Lake is a small body of water in section 30 in the southwest part. The surface is uneven to a degree and there is considerable swamp land in the southern part. Most of the town is well adapted to agriculture. The first claim made in the town of Leon was by a bee-hunter named Worden in 1849. He remained only a short time and returned to Neenah, whence he had come. His claim was made on what is now Van Aernam's prairie. Other early comers were: Henry Lang and Mr. Buck, in 1850; Edson Terrill, in 1851; Baldwin Sears, in 1852; Joseph Matthews, in 1853; George Frogin and Leicester Stephens, 1856. __________________________ Questions, suggestions or additions please email.
