Thompsonville, a hamlet of Jefferson county, is located on the Delaware river about 11 miles southwest of Oskaloosa, the county seat, and 3 miles northwest of Perry, from which place daily mail is supplied. Thompsonville was established in 1865 by C. L. Thompson, who erected a mill on the site of the old Mormon settlement of 1851. A postoffice was established in 1878 with C. T. Tolles as postmaster.
