Homesteading in Smith County
Lebanon
Established as a post office on February
16, 1876 at a location four miles southeast of the present location.
The Rock Island Railroad missed the towns of Salem and Lebanon
as it came through the county in 1879. A new location for Lebanon
near the tracks was laid out, and businesses and houses were moved
to the new location from both Lebanon and Salem.
The ethnicity of its settlers is not
known.
