It is on Highway 64 at the Tulsa County/Wagoner County line. The town was named for S. C. Leonard of Detroit, Michigan. The post office was established August 22, 1908.〔(Linda Haas Davenport,"Cities/Towns of Tulsa County, Oklahoma" ) Accessed April 12, 2015.〕 The town serves the surrounding farming area. It is notable for the presence of the nearby Leonard Geophysical Observatory. ==Leonard Geophysical Observatory== The Oklahoma Geological Survey's Leonard Geophysical Observatory is just south of Leonard.〔(Oklahoma Geological Survey:Leonard Geophysical Laboratory )〕 The Oklahoma Geological Survey has announced its decision to close the facility permanently. This facility was established in 1960, because it was "seismically quiet," making it a satisfactory place for monitoring underground nuclear tests. The facility had been built in 1960 by Jersey Production Company (a subsidiary of Standard Oil Company of New Jersey) for seismic research. Jersey Company gave it to Oklahoma University in 1965. A site near Leonard was purchased by Sarkis Foundation and given to the State of Oklahoma. In 1978, the observatory became part of the Oklahoma Geological Survey. It was soon named the "Oklahoma Geological Survey Observatory."〔(Lawson, James E., "History of the Oklahoma Geological Survey Observatory near Leonard, OK. ) Accessed August 17, 2015.〕 Under the Threshold Test Ban Treaty, which President George H. W. Bush and Mikhil Gorbachev signed in 1990, the Russian Government was permitted to monitor American underground nuclear tests. Leonard was one of three locations that the Russians were allowed to use for this purpose.〔(Galchen, Rivka. "Goodbye to an Oklahoma Earthquake Observatory." ''New Yorker''. April 22, 2015. ) Accessed August 11, 2015.〕 The Russians were allowed to build a seismograph station on leased ground adjacent to the OGSO, which they returned to Oklahoma after completing their mission seven years later.〔 The observatory employs a staff of two, and has been involved in monitoring earthquakes in the vicinity of Oklahoma since it opened. However, Austin Holland, state seismologist, has said that it is technologically obsolete and that the work can be done in the main OGS office at the OU campus in Norman. He added that the estimated cost to upgrade the Leonard facility is about $100,000. The state will close it during the summer of 2015, though the date has not been determined. The two staffers have been offered jobs in Norman,according to Holland.〔(Krehbiel, Randy.
