==History==
==History==
The first settlers were part of the [[Old Lutherans|Old Lutheran]] migration from Prussia in 1843. Johann Schley, a master tailor who was one of the settlers, proposed the name Lebanon ("Libanon" in German) for their community "because it dwelt on the hillside and looked down on the tamarack trees, which bore a resemblance to the cedars that grew on Lebanon's mountains".<ref>{{cite book |last=Schley |first=Mathilde G. |year=1940 |title=Fritz, Pät, Jules und Hänk |publisher=Westside Printing Co. |location=Milwaukee, Wis. }}</ref>
The primary community area is actually split into two parts, Lebanon and Old Lebanon. Old Lebanon was the original location, but when the first [[railroad]] was built several miles to the north, a large portion of the community relocated, as occurred with nearby [[Ashippun, Wisconsin|Ashippun]].
