Centered in the midst of the Columbiana County hills; Lisbon was founded in 1803. High hopes for growth and prosperity were first realized through industries producing iron; coal; and pottery; however; even with modern inventions; fascinating people; and hopes for a successful canal; the dream of becoming a city never materialized. During the Civil War; Confederate general John Hunt Morgan and his raiders threatened the community with invasion; but he ultimately surrendered to Union forces. Many political careers had links to Lisbon; including those of Congressman and Copperhead Clement Vallandigham; Sen. Marcus Hanna; Pres. William McKinley; and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court John Clarke. Intriguing families such as the �Fighting McCooks� added to the community�s history. Victorian homes abound; and today effort is put into the restoration of other Lisbon homes as well as businesses; creating genuine charm and interest while commercial and industrial progress stretches northward.
