"The population was 2,751 at the 2010 census...The town includes a village also named Lisle...The area that is now the town of Lisle was first settled around 1791. The town was formed from the town of Union in 1801. Later, parts of Lisle were used to form new towns in the county: in 1831, a division of Lisle into four parts created three new towns: Barker, Nanticoke, and Triangle...One reported original settlement, the Torry Lot, was located approximately within a one mile radius of the hill on Hotaling's property (the first owner of a piece of the Boston Purchase). There apparently were some disputes with the local Indians, and Hotaling's son was killed by Indians. The original "Torry Lot" settlers burned their possessions and moved because their livestock died, and they deemed the area uninhabitable...The first white settlers around 1791 included Josiah Patterson, Ebenezer Tracy, Edward Edwards, David Manning, Eliphalet Parsons and Whittlesey Gleason. By 1830, Lisle was "congested" and had a population of 4,393 - more than any other town in Broome County. Lisle was a shopping mecca, and the wares produced at the numerous mills were being sold in the thriving "Center Lisle" (originally called Yorkshire). Lisle in 1835 had considerable distinction as a manufacturing town, at that time having in operation three gristmills, twenty sawmills, one oil cloth mill, three fulling mills, three carding mills, one trip hammer or forging mill, three tanneries and two places where potash was made...The flood of 1935 destroyed a large part of the town"
