Leon, IA

As the seat of Decatur County, Leon has the classic feel of a traditional Iowa courthouse town. The historic 1908 courthouse sits right at the center of the square on North Main, surrounded by local shops, the county museum, and everyday community activity. It is a quiet, friendly town where people look out for each other and life moves at a relaxed pace.
