A short history of Lewistown

The city was named for Lewis Winans Ross, the son of its first settler, Ossian M. Ross. Originally named Fulton Courthouse with the establishment of its post office in 1824, it was renamed to Lewistown on March 14, 1831. It contains a tempera on canvas mural titled Lewistown Milestones, painted by Ida Abelman in 1941, depicting the Lincoln–Douglas debates. Murals were produced from 1934 to 1943 in the United States through the Section of Painting and Sculpture, later called the Section of Fine Arts, of the U.S. Treasury Department.
