Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historical Sketch of the Old Village of New Lisbon, Ohio: With Biographical Notes of Its Citizens Prominent in the Affairs of the Village, State and Nation The first white man who beheld the territory em braced within the limits of the present village of Lisbon a little more than a century ago, certainly found it pleasing to the view. A well wooded plain of considerable size at the base of a level topped. Forest covered hill 011 the north, and lying in the bend of a beautiful stream, the middle fork of the Little Beaver Creek. Which separated it from the steep pine clad hills on the west and south.
