Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning Services in Leesburg, NJ
Leesburg was started by “The brothers Lee” around 1795-1800. John Lee was a shipbuilder. The exact date is not recorded but the local area had been settled for some time before. There was a Methodist community here by 1792, and Swedish settlers prior to that. They built dikes and farmed whatever land they could dry out.
When the Lee brothers built the first shipyard here, they brought with them their reputation from their work in Egg Harbor. Their specialty was making coastal vessels. Another shipyard, the Delaware Bay yard was formed in 1928 and is now called Whibco which does sand mining. Thomas Lee, born in 1780, later went on to serve for New Jersey in the United States House of Representatives in 1833-37.
Another accomplishment of Leesburg’s early days of 1849 was when a man named William Carlisle erected the Leesburg Windmill. The windmill powered Leesburg, as well as other areas in Cumberland & Cape May counties. The Windmill sat where Allen’s Steel Company is today. Another mentionable building of 1856 was the first schoolhouse in the area and was used for a hundred years. It is now the Maurice River Municipal Building. Later a cannery employed a lot of residents, as well as a fertilizer company and a packing company.
