Leasingham first appeared on
the 35th special survey 1840.

The town was named after a parish
in Lincolnshire, England.

Our reception was opened as a
post office in 1863.

In the 1850s Leasingham's main attraction
was the race track.

Leasingham also had its own
orchestra in the 1890s.

The land that the cabin park is located on was given to the first governor of the Adelaide Gaol which was William Baker Ashton, who died in his quarters and had to be lifted out by crane as he was to large to fit down the stairway.
