Leightonfield (originally named Brunswick until 1914) is the third-most populous city in New Surrey Prefecture, Enderron. It is the the 18th-most populous city and the fourth-most populous inland city in Enderron. It is located on the Monash Highway and on the eastern side of the Muelenbelt River. Residents of the city are known as "Leightonfieldians". As of October 2018, Leightonfield's metropolitan population is estimated to be 349,278.
Leightonfield was originally known as Brunswick, named after Brunswick, Germany, until it was changed in 1914 due to anti-German sentiment. The city is named after Sir Charles Leighton, the 12th Premier of Enderron. It is a major transport hub for southwestern Enderron, located at the junction between multiple major arterial roads, motorways and railways. It is located at the tripoint of the boundaries of New Surrey, Cooksland and Westhaven, and is also within driving distance to the border with Lawrencia. The city is also known for its preserved Victorian-era architecture, wide tree-lined streets, numerous public parks, and its extensive tram and trolleybus networks. It is also a popular destination for university students, being home to the University of Leightonfield and one of the campuses of the University of New Surrey.
Leightonfield is separated from its smaller twin city to the west, Warburton, geographically by the Muelenbelt River and politically by the prefectural border with Westhaven, which follows the river's course. Together, the two cities form an urban area, known as Leightonfield–Warburton, with a population of 500,574.
