History

In 1962, local residents participated in “a federal lawsuit challenging the white Choctaw County registrars who were rejecting 95 percent of black voters’ applications.” Martin Luther King visited the town to lead a rally for voting rights on April 30, 1966.

The town incorporated in 1979, which enabled it to pave its dirt roads, and build sewers.

A 2019 article described Mayor Jason Ward’s plans to hire a police officer and rebuild the abandoned school library.

Lisman was not included in Choctaw County’s new “Opportunity Zones” in 2019.
