A little history

Leon County was created in 1846 from Robertson County and named for Martín De León, founder of the colony at Victoria. The town of Leona was an early seat; Centerville took the seat in 1851 because it sat at the geographic center. The county sits at the intersection of the Eagle Ford and Woodbine plays, the heart of East Texas mineral leasing today.
