Originally named Lebanon, the name was changed to West Lebanon in 1869 when the town was incorporated, possibly in deference to the Boone County community of the same name which established its post office on December 15, 1832, just eleven days before their own.Not being close to any waterways, West Lebanon's early growth was relatively slow and for many years had no more than 20 families.
