History

The local post office was established at a nearby stage coach stop in 1852 under the name “Henrysville” in honor of the local postmaster’s family name.

In 1872, Lewisburg was surveyed, platted, and founded by the Owensboro and Nashville Railroad to serve as a depot on its line. It was named for Eugene C. Lewis, the line’s chief engineer. In 1877, the post office moved to the new community and changed its name. The city was formally incorporated by the state assembly the next year.
