Lisbon is a village in Kendall County, Illinois, United States. The population was 271 at the 2020 census.
The community was established in 1836 with a log tavern and a highway connecting Joliet to Chicago Road. This led to the addition of a post office, an enterprise, and a schoolhouse.[3] The town became part of Kendall County in 1841.[4]
John Moore is credited with naming Lisbon Township, a name with Portuguese origins.[citation needed]
According to Joseph R. Adams in the May 28, 1896, edition of the Kendall County News, "Though ten miles from a railroad, the villagers appear not wanting. They appear to be living better and happier than those differently situated."[5]
Lisbon is now home to Lisbon Consolidated School, the John Moore Park, West Lisbon Church, and Lisbon Bethlehem Lutheran Church.[citation needed]
