Leighton
Leighton is a small but active community located midway between
Pella and Oskaloosa. Most of the town's residents have their employment
in these two towns. The Town was founded in 1865 when B.F. and Marietta
Roberts filed the original plat to the town. It was named after
William C. Leighton, an early area land speculator. It was incorporated
in 1909.
