About Leon Valley

A small, quiet city in the northwest part of San Antonia, Leon Valley has a lot to offer families that are looking for a small town lifestyle in the heart of Texas. With a lot of beautiful natural areas, this farming town is a safe, wonderful place to raise a family.

Leon Valley started out as a community of farmers, working on the land and producing various crops for export throughout the state of Texas. It was the 1940s, and times were changing, but these farmers wanted to make sure that their lifestyle wouldn’t change too much. When the 1950s came along, Leon Valley fought to be independent of San Antonio. They wished to be their own city, and they worked hard to ensure that their community would remain safe and independent from the larger neighboring city. Though the population has grown significantly since its incorporation in 1954, Leon Valley remains in some ways the same as it has always been.

Residents that live in Leon Valley have a lot of pride in their independence and their ability to take care of themselves. The Public Works Department in Leon Valley prides itself on maintaining city streets, public areas, and community buildings. They do a great job, and residents that live here feel like they live in a very safe, well kept environment.

Living in a beautiful part of south central Texas affords Leon Valley a beautiful backdrop. With gorgeous trees and native wildlife, Leon Valley is peaceful, and boasts some great outdoor spaces for residents to enjoy. Among those outdoor spaces are public parks and recreational facilities, maintained by the Public Works Department. Despite its small size, Leon Valley residents enjoy the large amount of parks and outdoor areas.
