Welcome to the City of Gallatin
Mayor Jo Ann Graves
What a difference a year makes! A lot has happened in Gallatin in the last year. We've opened new roads, expanded our business and industry, and implemented new and innovative services. While we've completed many projects, there are even more on the horizon.
Gallatin's wonderful location surrounded by rolling hills, the Cumberland River and Old Hickory Lake - and its proximity to Nashville just 25 minutes away - makes it an attractive destination.
Gallatin is now home to five corporate headquarters that do business on an international level. The City recently expanded its industrial park by 207 acres. We've launched rapid bus service, added more recycling options, implemented free wireless downtown, enhanced customer service options, and begun a cooperative effort to expand the airport.
