Abstract: The discrete cocompact subgroups of the five-dimensional connected, simply connected nilpotent Lie groups are determined up to isomorphism. Moreover, we prove if $G=N\times A$ is a connected, simply connected, nilpotent Lie group with an Abelian factor $A$, then every uniform subgroup of $G$ is the direct product of a uniform subgroup of $N$ and $\mathbb Z^r$ where $r=\dim A$.

Keywords: nilpotent Lie group; discrete subgroup; nil-manifold; rational structures, Smith normal form; Hermite normal form.
