New Lisbon is a small, unincorporated community located in Jackson Township, Randolph County, in the U.S. state of Indiana. Being "unincorporated" means it's a group of homes and businesses that doesn't have its own official local government, like a city or town would. Instead, it's managed as part of the larger Randolph County.
A Look Back in Time
New Lisbon was first planned and settled in 1848. When people created the community, they decided to name it after the famous city of Lisbon in Portugal. It's interesting how places in America sometimes get their names from faraway lands!
