History, Commerce, and Recreation

Lobelville was named after French fur trapper and explorer of the Buffalo River and Tennessee River valleys, Henri de Lobel. 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.

Lobelville now is the site of a major transfer point on the Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company pipeline network and is bisected by State Route 13, a connector to Interstate 40 (via exit 143 approximately 10 miles north in Humphreys County, Tennessee) and Federal Highway 412.

The Buffalo River provides a substantial income of tourism through canoeing and fishing, as does the larger Tennessee River. Mousetail Landing State Park is situated south-west of Lobelville in Perry County along the Tennessee River. The Buffalo River Country Club is a local 9-hole semi-private golf course. Hunting, fishing, and camping (both at prepared sites and back-country) are widely available in the area.
