Mt. Juliet, TN, is located thirty miles from the center of Nashville and has gained nearly 50% of the population over the last decade due to its rapid growth as a suburb.
Since its founding in 1972, the city's population has steadily increased. However, a steep rise began around 2005, possibly due to significant development, including The Shoppes of Renaissance Square and Lebanon Road's recent revitalization.
Before the mid-2000s, when development began, most residents lived on large rural properties on the outskirts of the city.
The annual Mt. Juliet Jamboree summer festival, which includes live music and carnival games, occurs in Mount Juliet. This event has been a part of the city's attractions since 1984 and is held at Robert Rose Park.
