Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LEO-LOB
LESKOVATS (LESKOVATZ or LESKOvAC) , a
town
  in Servia, between
Nish
  and
Vranya
 , on the railway line from
Nish
  to
Salonica
 . Pop. (1901) 13,707. It is the headquarters of the Servian hemp industry, the extensive
plain
  in which the
town
  lies growing the best flax and hemp in all the
Balkan
 
peninsula
 . The
plain
  is not only the most fertile portion of Servia, but also the best cultivated. Besides flax and hemp, excellent
tobacco
  is grown. Five valleys converge on the plain from different directions, and the inhabitants of the villages in these valleys are all occupied in growing flax and hemp, which they send to Leskovats to be stored or manufactured into
ropes
 . After
Belgrade
  and Nish, Leskovats is the most prosperous town in Servia.
