History
[edit]Lisbon was founded in 1880 by Joseph L. Colton, who named the new city after Lisbon, New York, his wife's hometown, not after Portugal's capital.[6] Within four years, the town had a newspaper, the Star.[7]
The campus of the North Dakota Veterans Home, established in 1891, provides retirement living for military veterans. Construction is underway for a large new facility adjacent to the current one.[citation needed]
Downtown Lisbon is home to the Scenic movie theater, which was established in 1911. The Scenic is the oldest, continuously running theater in the United States.[8] During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the theater remained open by providing outdoor showings.[9]
