Lisco is a census-designated place (CDP) in Garden County, Nebraska, United States. The population was 64 at the 2010 census.
History
Lisco was laid out in 1909 when the Union Pacific Railroad was extended to that point.[1] The community was named after Reuben Lisco, a cattleman who owned about 40,000 acres (16,000 ha) of land in the area, including the land on which the town currently stands. Mr. Lisco later became the president of the Lisco State Bank.[2]
In the 2000 United States Census, the community of Lisco was mistakenly called Cisco by the Census Bureau.[3][4] The surrounding census county division (CCD) was still called Lisco.[4] By 2005, the Census Bureau had realized its error, stating that "Lisco census designated place (CDP) is erroneously shown...with the name 'Cisco.'"[5]
