LeRoy Pope (January 30, 1765 – June 17, 1844) was an American planter, lawyer, and early settler of Madison County, Alabama.
He acquired a large tract of land which included the highly sought-after Big Spring, where pioneer John Hunt had settled in 1805.
[4] LeRoy Pope's mansion, called Poplar Grove, was erected in 1814, in time to entertain General Andrew Jackson on his return home from the Battle of Horseshoe Bend.
It was one of the earliest brick structures in Alabama, and remains a prominent Huntsville landmark atop Echols Hill in the Twickenham Historic District.
Pope was a wealthy and successful planter, and was active in the early government and civic leadership of Huntsville and Madison County.
