Leon County, Administrative division in Texas, United States.
Leon County encompasses 1081 square miles of rural landscapes, including agricultural lands, small towns, and residential communities throughout central Texas.
The county, established in 1846 from Robertson County, received its name from Martin de Leon, an early Mexican empresario and colonist.
Multiple independent school districts within Leon County, including Buffalo, Centerville, and Normangee, provide education services to local students.
Residents can access essential county services through designated offices that handle probation, housing assistance, emergency management, and law enforcement matters.
