Lebanon was founded by George Steitz in 1740 and was originally named Steitztown.
Lebanon was settled by European colonists in 1720, many with the family names of "Steitz" and "Light", along a creek that was then named "Steitz Creek". The Light patriarchs built a fort to protect against Indians and named it "Light's Fort". The town was laid out in 1753, incorporated as a borough on February 20, 1821, and became a city on November 25, 1885. It adopted the commission form of government, consisting of four councilmen and a mayor.
Lebanon bologna was first made here. Lebanon was formerly home to a major steel mill operated by Bethlehem Steel.
