Leesville is an unincorporated city of 384 residents distributed over 51 square miles in the Gonzales—Guadalupe County area in Texas, United States, electorally known as local Precinct 13; defined by the south of its Capote Hills at the "Leesville Quad" intersection and the north of Sandies Creek, twelve miles southeast of Seguin. Beginning in the 19th-century, the municipal identity of Leesville was founded upon being one of the first Justice of the Peace Precincts of its original county-area, as prescribed in the Texas Constitution; as well as once generally serving as the primary seat of a former Texas House District 90, once rated at more than 1,000 constituents. Straddling and nearing the southeastern border of Guadalupe County, the real estate origins of Leesville go back to the 1800s survey-plots of Texas Revolution figures Ezekiel Wimberly Cullen and Count Joseph de la Baume of France ; the latter retaining Texas's founding father Stephen F. Austin as an attorney, to reacquire the early-1800s Spanish land-tract, after Mexico's Independence from Spain in 1825. Divided by Farm to Market Road 1682 joining with Gonzales—Guadalupe County Road 121 West, Leesville's northern territory is closest to the Austin Metropolitan Areas through Texas State Highway 80 / U.S. Route 183 in Texas, while the southern territory is closest to the San Antonio Metropolitan Areas through Texas State Highway 97 / U.S. Route 87 in Texas.
