History
changeBefore, Cedarville and Leo were different villages. Cedarville was planned out in 1838, and Leo was started in 1849, first called the Town of Hamilton.[5]
In 1996, Leo and Cedarville became one town called Leo-Cedarville. They did this to stop the nearby city of Fort Wayne from taking them over.
The Hursh Road Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. But then, it was taken off the list in 1993.[6]
