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."[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
