'''Lobelville''' is a city in [[Perry County, Tennessee|Perry County]], [[Tennessee]], United States that was established as a trading post on the [[Buffalo River (Tennessee)|Buffalo River]] in 1854. The population was 897 at the 2010 census.

== History ==
Lobelville was established in 1854 by French trader Henri de Lobel. Originally known as Lobelsville, Lobel established a trading post on the Buffalo River in the early 19th century expecting that it would become a trading route. The proximity of the Tennessee River made this an unprofitable venture, and it never took off as a major trading point.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.perrycountytennessee.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=73&Itemid=128|title = Perry County Chamber of Commerce}}</ref>

==Geography==
Lobelville is located at {{coord|35|45|4|N|87|47|35|W|type:city}} (35.751119, -87.793085).<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|accessdate=April 23, 2011|date=February 12, 2011|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}}</ref>

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of {{convert|3.9|sqmi|km2}}, of which, {{convert|3.9|sqmi|km2}} of it is land and 0.25% is water.

Lobelville now is the site of a major transfer point on the [[Tennessee Gas Pipeline|Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company]] pipeline network, which is also the oldest continuously operating business in the town, beginning operations in 1943. It is bisected by [[Tennessee State Route 13|State Route 13]], a connector to [[Interstate 40]] (via exit 143 approximately {{convert|10|mi|km}} north in [[Humphreys County, Tennessee]]) and [[U.S. Route 412]] approximately {{convert|13|mi|km}} south in [[Linden, Tennessee|Linden]]. [[Tennessee State Route 438|State Route 438]] also passes through the southern part of Lobelville.
