Lebanon (/ˈlɛbənɪn/ LEH-bə-nin) is a town in New London County, Connecticut. The town is part of the Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region. The population was 7,142 at the 2020 census.[1] The town lies just to the northwest of Norwich, directly south of Willimantic, 20 miles (32 km) north of New London, and 20 miles (32 km) east of Hartford. It is best known for its role in the American Revolution when it was a major base of American operations, and for its historic town green, which is one of the largest in the nation and the only one still used partially for agriculture.[2]
