From humble immigrant beginnings Leupold grew based on a promise of quality to become a classic American company. In 1907 Fred Leupold set up a one-man shop at 5th and Oak streets in Portland Ore. to repair surveying equipment. He was joined by his brother-in-law Adam Voelpel and later by inventor John Cyprian Stevens and the foundations for a century of success were in place.

During Leupold's second half-century the company has focused heavily on the sports optics business. Leupold's presence in the hunting and shooting market expands and finally dominates with innovative optics and features that are now legendary among hunters shooters and outdoors enthusiasts. Many of the industry's standards - nitrogen waterproofing the Duplex reticle and more - are Leupold creations.
