Lisbon is a village in Kendall County, Illinois, United States. The population was 397 at the 2016 census.[3]

The town's growth began in 1836 with a log tavern and a highway connecting Joliet to Chicago Road. The generous hospitality spread fame to the village, leading it to become a popular place for western travel. This led to the addition of a post office, enterprise, and a schoolhouse.[4] The town became part of Kendall County in 1841.[5]

John Moore is credited with naming Lisbon Township, stating he wanted a different name, leading him to choose a name with Portuguese origins.

According to Joseph R. Adams in the May 28, 1896 edition of the Kendall County News, "Though ten miles from a railroad, the villagers appear not wanting. They appear to be living better and happier than those differently situated."[6]

Lisbon is now home to Lisbon Consolidated School, the John Moore Park, West Lisbon Church, and Lisbon Bethlehem Lutheran Church.
