Lisco is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Garden County, Nebraska, United States. The population was 64 at the 2010 census.
Lisco was laid out in 1909 when the Union Pacific Railroad was extended to that point. 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.
In the 2000 United States Census, the community of Lisco was mistakenly called "Cisco" by the Census Bureau. The surrounding census county division (CCD) was still called Lisco. By 2005, the Census Bureau had realized its error, stating that "Lisco census designated place (CDP) is erroneously shown...with the name 'Cisco.'"
Lisco is located in western Garden County at 41°29′50″N 102°37′13″W / 41.49722°N 102.62028°W (41.4972022, -102.6201979), on the north side of the valley of the North Platte River. The western border of Lisco follows the Morrill County line. U.S. Route 26 passes through the community, leading northwest 29 miles (47 km) to Bridgeport and southeast 58 miles (93 km) to Ogallala.
