The founding fathers of Leachville (Mississippi County) were James Wiseman Honnoll, Joshua Gilbert Leach, and Sam McNamee. Leach and Honnoll incorporated the Leach-McNamee Land Development Company on March 15, 1898, with Honnell naming the town in honor of his business partner. Though founded in the 1890s, the town was not incorporated until 1916. Shown here is modern-day Main Street.
