The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Lizton was originally called New Elizabeth, and under the latter name was laid out in 1837 by Jesse Veiley, and named for his wife, Elizabeth.
The post office was established as New Elizabeth in 1854, and was renamed Lizton in 1873. According to one source, the name may have been changed by the railroad.
