When Ford County was a part of Vermilion county it was called Prairie City Township. In 1857 it was changed to Patton. In 1858 Drummer Grove town was set off from Patton and included all the present Ford County west of Range nine. In 1859 after Ford County was organized all of the panhandle and eighteen sections to the south of it was organized from the town of Patton and known as the Town of Stocton. In 1864 the name of Stocton was changed to Brenton and embraced the present towns of Pella, Brenton and Lyman.
In 1867 the residents of township No 25 petitioned the Board of Supervisors to have a new town made from Brenton which was to coincide with Township No. 25 Range nine. The request was granted and the town was named the town of Lyman in honor of the oldest settler, Samuel Lyman of Section No. 2. The first town meeting was held in the school house in Dist. No. 2 on April 7th, 1868.
