This cemetery has regular care and in good shape. It is located at the corner of Pilot Knob Road and County Road 42 in Apple Valley, Minnesota.  The area that comprises Apple Valley city was originally  Lebanon township.  Apple Valley city was incorporated 1 January 1969. 

The Dakota county cemetery records compilation lists this cemetery as: Lebanon Cemetery, established 5 December 1863. 2 acres. Located Section 36, NW 1/4.

In the book "History of Dakota County and the city of Hastings" by Rev. Edward D. Neill, written in 1881, he wrote the following: ... 5 December 1863, a meeting of the citizens was held to organize a cemetery association. ... The corporate name of Lebanon Cemetery Association was adopted. Two acres in the north-west quarter of section 36 were purchased .... in 1863. There are now [in 1881] about fifty graves in the enclosure (page 431).

This cemetery was transcribed during 1996.
