Why Choose The Mike Leonard Agency in Lewisville,TX?
Why Choose The Mike Leonard Agency in Lewisville,TX?
We are an Independent insurance agency which differs greatly from that of a captive agent such as Allstate, State Farm, Farmers, etc. A captive agent has only the rates of that one individual company to offer his customers as opposed to an Independent which can offer the rate of many different companies.
This is important because all insurance companies go through times when they sustain losses and have to dramatically increase rates. When this happens The Mike Leonard Insurance Agency searches the marketplace for a new company with lower rates here in Lewisville. The captive agent can't help you with a new company because they are contractually obligated to write and renew every customer with that company.

Did You Know
In 1841, The Republic of Texas chartered the Peters Colony Land Grant Company to populate the North Texas region with the name of "Peter's Colony" [sic] (named after W.S. Peters, publisher of the song Oh! Susanna). In 1844, John W. King and his wife, Jane King, settled on the east end of the prairie, where Lewisville currently stands, and later that year, other settlers from Platte County, Missouri settled on the west side, including John and James Holford, who named the area "Holford's Prarie". The group comprised Baptists primarily. Further south, Presbyterians established a church and named it Flower Mound.
In the ensuing confusion regarding land ownership after the Hedgcoxe War, Basdeal Lewis purchased Holford's Prarie in 1853 and renamed it after himself. The economy quickly centered around cotton farming, and in 1867 Lewisville became home to the first cotton gin in Denton County, built by T.M. Clayton and George Craft.
In 1845, the owners of the Fox farm buried a slave child named Melinda on a plot of ground. The area developed into the town's cemetery for black slaves and eventually residents. Named Fox-Hembry Cemetery, the plot still exists today. Though the cemetery sometimes falls into disrepair, local residents and businesses gathered to clean up the area in 2011.
