== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Leon County is one of the state's more powerful Democrat strongholds.
* The American Civil War Battle of Natural Bridge, in March 1865, occurred in what is now Woodville, at the Natural Bridge (approximately six miles from Woodville proper). This is where the St. Marks River drops into a sinkhole, the Natural Bridge Sink and flows underground, reemerging .25 miles (0.40 km) later.
* Woodville is mostly a suburb/bedroom community of Tallahassee.
* The 1940s through 1960s saw an increase in the raising of beef cattle in Leon County. Some of the increase can be attributed to St. Joe Paper Company as well as some game plantation owners. Among some of Leon County's beef producers were Payne H. Midyette, Sr. and Payne H. Midyette, Jr. who had 775 acres (3.14 km2) on Miccosukee Road. In 1939, Payne Sr. introduced the first purebred Hereford herd into the county. Tallahassee City Manager Arvah Hopkins and brother William Hopkins, a State Attorney, had 300 to 500 head on 2,000 acres (8.1 km2). Both were grandsons of Goodwood Plantation owner Arvah Hopkins. Bull Headley of Bull Run Plantation ran 500 head of cattle.
* Two notable lakes within county boundaries are Lake Iamonia and Lake Jackson.
* Plank Road State Forest is located in the southeastern portion of the county.
