History

The National Road passed through the middle of the village of Lisbon, with the 1804 Caleb Pancoast House in background- picture circa August 1912. HistoricLisbonMaryland1912.jpg
The National Road passed through the middle of the village of Lisbon, with the 1804 Caleb Pancoast House in background- picture circa August 1912.

Lisbon is situated on a land grant patented by Seth Warfield in 1794 as "Warfield's Forest". The town was founded by Caleb Pancoast in 1810. [7] Named "New Lisbon", followed by a shortened "Lisbon" name (not Portugal's capital). [8] In 1820, Pancoast deeded land for the Union Church for Public Worship which would become a schoolhouse with gravesites remaining in 1880. Pancoast subdivided the town in 1822 with one hundred lots of a quarter acre in size, including roads and alleys. By 1835, eight scheduled daily stagecoaches ran through town. [9] The town built the single room Annapolis Rock School in 1894, which served the area until 1943. [10]

The photograph is the National Road (now MD 144), looking east toward Baltimore. The road between the two houses is Madison Street. [11] Through the center of town, Woodbine Road runs north for 2 miles (3.2 km) to Woodbine, where the Patapsco River and the B&O Railroad cross the road. About one mile north of Lisbon exists the original road that ran from Baltimore to Frederick. This road runs west toward Poplar Springs and east toward Sykesville. The exact route of this road is not discernible at this time.

Lisbon is home to the Carr's Mill Landfill, the county's second landfill, which closed in 1977 and was the site of toxic dumping. [12]

Lisbon changed from an unincorporated community to a census-designated place for the 2020 census. [13]

The Maryland Forestry Department removed 30-40% of the local pine grove in an attempt to curb the "invasion" of birds, which reduced the migration the following year. However, the solution was not permanent. In 1977, residents and expert witnesses testified before the Senate Economic Affairs Committee in support of legislation that would enable more effective interventions.
