New Lisbon is a city in Juneau County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 1,748 at the 2020 census.
The site of New Lisbon was used as a seasonal winter encampment by Ho-Chunk people, who called it Waac Hot’ųp Eeja (anglicized to Wa Du Shuda), meaning "we leave canoe here." [5] : 194 The United States acquired the land from the Ho-Chunk nation in an 1836 treaty. [6] : 366–367
The first white settlers, Amasa Wilson and C.B. Smith, arrived in 1838 to harvest lumber in the vicinity. Wilson and Smith selected the site of New Lisbon for a log boom on the Lemonweir River and constructed a sawmill at the site in 1842-1843. In 1855, Amasa Wilson platted the village. J.A. Chase platted an addition not long afterwards. [6] : 378–379 The village was originally named Mill Haven but later changed to New Lisbon, possibly at the suggestion of county clerk Larmon Saxton, who hailed from Lisbon, Ohio. [5] : 194 In 1857, the La Crosse and Milwaukee Railroad connected to the community. [7] : 33 New Lisbon was incorporated by the Wisconsin Legislature in March 1870. [6] : 379
