Settlement of Lebanon began circa 1791. The town was established in 1807, from part of the Town of Hamilton. Many of the early inhabitants were from Connecticut.

It was general Erastus Cleveland who founded the town. "When asked for the new town's name, he cried out, alluding to the Bible "Ah, as the cedars of Lebanon. The new town of Lebanon." The name pleased many of them who had trudged long miles from Lebanon, Connecticut, and they believed that the general had suggested the name as a tribute to them." [4]
