History

New Lisbon was originally called Jamestown, and under the latter name was platted in 1833. ^[3] Jamestown was named in honor of one of its founders, James Tomlinson, Jr. (1800-1881), ^[4] but it was afterwards changed because there was another post office in the state with a similar name. ^[3] It was then named after New Lisbon, Columbiana County, Ohio. ^[3] The New Lisbon post office was established in 1836. ^[5]

Demographics

The United States Census Bureau defined New Lisbon as a census designated place in the 2022 American Community Survey. ^[6]
