Originally incorporated as Thompsonborough on June 22, 1799, in honor of General Samuel Thompson, of Brunswick, Maine, the citizens disliked the long name (and the General's politics) and changed it to Lisbon on February 22, 1802, after the city of Lisbon, Portugal. By the 1860s and through most of the 20th century, manufacturing industries - specifically woolen fabric, cotton, and paper mills - harvested the Androscoggin and Sabattus Rivers' power and played an economic role in the town.
