History

Lebanon was platted in 1887 when the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad was extended to that point. Its name commemorates the Cedars of Lebanon.

In April 1955 Charles Harris, a delegate chosen by the Mayor of Lebanon, was part of a delegation of forty mayors of American cities called “Lebanon” which was invited to the Middle East by the government of the country Lebanon. The mayor of Lebanon in 1955 was Chester Keith, who couldn’t go due to his age. When visiting Jerusalem, then partitioned between Israel and Jordan, Harris accidentally crossed the border and was shot to death by a Jordanian soldier. At the time, his death sparked a major international incident, with the UN launching an investigation, Israel and Jordan each putting the blame on the other.
