In 1831, DuPage County was founded. To the west of the Lisle settlement, on the west branch of the DuPage river, brothers Joseph and John Naper founded Naper's Settlement, present-day Naperville, Illinois.
Lisle experienced many firsts in the decade of 1830s during the earliest years of settlement in
In 1849,[8] DuPage County formed its first townships, and the name Lisle was first proposed by early settler Alonzo B. Chatfield[9] of Lisle, New York;[10] the proposal was accepted, creating the Lisle Township. The village was incorporated on June 26, 1956,[8] and was also named after Lisle, New York.[11] Another reason for the DuPage township name change was that there was another town in Will County with the name DuPage.
Another story of the origin of the Lisle name was that the town was named after the late S. Lisle Smith of Chicago.[12]
In 1864, the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad arrived along with a newly constructed depot. In 1874, a fire destroyed the Lisle Station depot, but it was later rebuilt by the CB&Q Railroad. Today, commuter rail service is provided by Metra.
On July 4, 2006, Lisle celebrated its 50th birthday by hosting the state's biggest fireworks display.[13]
