Number of inhabitants by 31.12. 2000: 513. The village ranks among the
oldest settlements in the Jesen�ky mountains. In the Deed of Foundation
issued in 1224 the name of the village was Lechsdorf. In past Leskovec
endured much misery, namely during the Hussite wars from 1420 - 1432 and
in 1474 - 1476 when the region was heavily devastated by severe struggles
between Maty� Korv�n, Hungarian king, and Kazim�r I, Polish king. In 1623
Leskovec became livelong property of the family of Lichtenstein. During
the thirty-year war (1618-1648) various troops marched there, devastated
towns and villages, and robbed people. The period from 1642 to 1650 was
extremely difficult. At those years, Leskovec was captured by Swedes. In
1780 a trivial school was founded in the village. In 1852 first factory
buildings were built. In those building a flax spinning mill started working.
In 1895 the plant was bought by A.Rudolph from Austria and a knitting mill
was opened there. After World war II the textile plant was replaced with
a plastic press shop.
