De Leon TX, population 2,433, began on July 7,1881, as officials of the Texas Central Railroad sold town lots from a flatcar. The town got it's name from the nearby Leon river. The first two people buried in the cemetary were Rev. and Mrs. Cyrus Campbell. When Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna was captured at San Jacinto, Reverend Campbell was paid five dollars by the Republic of Texas to construct the leg irons used to contain him.

Every year in early August, De Leon hosts a Peach and Melon festival, which started in 1914. The event features a carnival, music, De Leon high school reunion, melon slicing, and crowning of a festival queen.
