Formed in 1835, Chartered in 1972
Mt. Juliet took shape in 1835 but did not incorporate as a city until 1972. The most widely accepted story says the name comes from the Mount Juliet Estate, a manor house in County Kilkenny, Ireland, and no other U.S. city shares it. Early on March 3, 2020, an EF3 tornado destroyed hundreds of homes here, along with West Wilson Middle School and Stoner Creek Elementary.

Does my dog need to wear a rabies tag in Mt. Juliet?

Can my dog roam the neighborhood if it always comes home?

I live in Wilson County outside Mt. Juliet. Who do I call about an animal?
Wilson County Animal Control serves the parts of the county outside the Lebanon and Mt. Juliet city limits.
What can a Mt. Juliet landlord ask for when I request an emotional support animal?
When a disability is not obvious, Tennessee lets the landlord ask for reliable documentation of the disability and of the need for the animal. The landlord may not obtain your confidential medical records.
Is the city called Mt. Juliet or Mount Juliet?
Both are used. The official city charter spells it Mt. Juliet, while the U.S. Postal Service lists the name as Mount Juliet.
