History of Carlisle
Carlisle had its start in 1850 when the railroad was extended to that point and a train station was built. The village was named for "railroad man" George B. Carlisle, who in the mid 19th century "bought and platted a large section of the community." A post office was established at Carlisle in 1852 and remained in operation until 1961.
Carlisle’s population increased from 4,872 in the 1990 census to 5,121 in the 2000 census; passing the threshold of 5,000, its designation was changed from village to city. As of the 2010 census, the population was 4,915; this population loss caused Carlisle to once again become a village. In the 2020 census, the population was 5,501; on October 20, 2021, Carlisle regained city status.
