History

Lisbon was founded in 1880 by Joseph L. Colton, who named the new city after Lisbon, New York, his wife's hometown, not after Portugal's capital. [6] Within four years, the town had a newspaper, the Star. [7]

The campus of the North Dakota Veterans Home, established in 1891, provides retirement living for military veterans. Construction is underway for a large new facility adjacent to the current one.[ citation needed ]

Downtown Lisbon is home to the Scenic movie theater, which was established in 1911. The Scenic is the oldest, continuously running theater in the United States. [8] During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the theater remained open by providing outdoor showings. [9]
