This City Hall building, located on Main Street in downtown, serves the city of Lebanon. The city has a Council-Manager form of government. Lebanon's current motto is "It's Easier From Here" and is intended to reflect that the city government will work to make life easier for residents.

Lebanon, population 15,711 (as of 2011), was founded in 1847. At one point the area was known as "Peterson's Gap" due to early settler Asa Peterson. The town is named "Lebanon" because the cedar trees along the river reminded early settler Jeremiah Ralston of biblical references and because Ralston's hometown was Lebanon, Tennessee.

Held the first week in June, Lebanon hosts the annual Strawberry Festival which features the World's Largest Strawberry Shortcake. The festival includes a junior parade, grand parade and carnival.
