Lisbon CT Community Profile & History
Lisbon, Connecticut was originally settled as part of the town of Norwich, and was incorporated in 1786. Hezekiah and Jabez Perkins named the community after Lisbon, Portugal, where the two had done extensive trading. The center of Lisbon, known as the village of Newent after the old Newent Ecclesiastical Society, hosts the town hall, fire department, the historic Newent Congregational Church and the town's only elementary school, Lisbon Central School. Numerous historic houses are located here.
The Norwich-Worcester Railroad built the first railroad tunnel in the United States in Lisbon in 1837, near the border of Norwich on the banks of the Quinebaug River. The 300-feet-long, 23-feet-wide and 18-feet-tall tunnel was carved through solid rock with the help of black powder blasting, picks and shovels. Mill Brook Bridge, the oldest known free-standing stone arch in the United States, is located at the junction of Blissville Road and Mill Brook Road. It is an example of the dry-laid fieldstone masonry of the period. The structure was first built as a stop for U.S. Mail stage coaches en route between New York and Boston.
Lisbon is bounded by the Shetucket and Quinebaug Rivers. Running through the center of Lisbon is Route 169, a scenic road which is on the National Heritage Corridor. A ride along Route 169 illustrates the beauty and charm of rural New England.
