Learn More About Beautiful Mt. Juliet

Located in western Wilson County, Mt. Juliet was incorporated in 1973. Though its status as a city is new, its history is old. For many years the area was a hunting ground for various Native American tribes including the Cherokee, Chickasaw and Shawnee. No permanent settlements were built until French explorers came to the region and established trading posts. Wilson County was established October 26, 1799. The county is named for Major David Wilson, a Revolutionary War hero.

Mt. Wilson was actually founded in 1835 and was named for a castle in Kilkenny County Ireland. With the coming of the Civil War Tennessee sided with the Confederacy. Nearly 1,000 Wilson County residents responded to the call to battle from Gen. Robert H. Hatton and joined the 7th Tennessee Infantry, fighting alongside Gen. Robert E. Lee. Two of the war’s bloodiest battles The Battle of Franklin and the Battle at Stones River were fought nearby.

Following the war the region, whose economy had been based on agriculture began to diversify. Railroads played a major role in the expansion of business and the Wilson County gained the nickname “Gateway to The Appalachians”.

Today Mt. Juliet is a city of almost 30,000 people. It offers the best of country living and city living, located only 17 miles away from Nashville. “MJ” as it is known, is a magnet for business with low taxes and a well trained workforce. Mt.
