Discovering South Lebanon's Past
The first people settled in the area of South Lebanon in the 1790s. The village was first called "Deerfield." This name came from Deerfield Township, where it was the main settlement.
Why the Name Changed
The village's name was changed because it was very close to Lebanon, which is the county seat. When a railroad was built through the area, the new name "South Lebanon" was chosen. A post office opened in 1828 under the name Deerfield Village. Its name was officially changed to South Lebanon in 1871.
