We are excited about using this site to communicate online with our citizens, businesses, and visitors. We are certain you will enjoy Leesville whether as a 'virtual visitor', tourist, resident, or business person. Leesville is the county seat of Vernon Parish (County) and is a place where you can escape the hustle and bustle of big city life and enjoy the pleasures of living in a community where you will always find a warm welcome and old fashioned hospitality. We are very proud of our friendly, small town atmosphere and continue to preserve our unique cultural and historic heritage, while cultivating a dynamic economic environment. We know you will find the quality of life here exactly what you're looking for. Recreational opportunities abound including a municipal golf course, parks, 6 -screen cinema, bowling alley, skating rink, museum, tennis courts, and nearby lakes which offer some of the best fishing in the nation. Educational opportunities are excellent. Our students rank among the top of the state in several aptitude tests.
