Townsite Company purchased 50 acres of land from Joseph Lammel on which to build the town.[7] By the end of the month, commercial lots were being sold for $600 each. The first business construction in Leshara was a lumberyard operated by the Zaugg brothers of Yutan.[8] Residential lots were on sale in November.[9]
