Leonard County
County VC · Vice City
Leonard County is a county due to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI, covering a largely suburban stretch of southeastern Leonida just north of Vice-Dale County, with law enforcement handled by the Leonard County Sheriff. It appears inspired by Broward County, Florida, given the similar naming and near-identical sheriff car liveries, with the name seemingly echoing former Florida governor Napoleon B. Broward.
County file
What Leonard County is on the GTA 6 map
Leonard County sits on Leonida’s Atlantic coast just north of the Vice City metro — the suburban buffer between the big city and the rest of the state. Its confirmed anchor is Waning Sands, a coastal community that reads as the Aventura and Pembroke Pines stretch of greater Miami.
It’s one of the least-revealed counties so far, with Waning Sands the main named place. Geographically it plays the role Broward County plays north of Miami-Dade: more residential, a little quieter, still unmistakably South Florida.
County seat: Waning Sands. Real-world resemblance: Broward County, Florida (the Fort Lauderdale / Aventura stretch) — fan mapping, not officially confirmed by Rockstar.
