History

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.” The United States acquired the land from the Ho-Chunk nation in an 1836 treaty.

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. 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. In 1857, the La Crosse and Milwaukee Railroad connected to the community. New Lisbon was incorporated by the Wisconsin Legislature in March 1870.
