Lebanon Information
Lebanon is a city in Wilson County, Tennessee, in the United States. The
population was 20,235 at the 2000 census. It serves as the county seat of Wilson
CountyGR6. Lebanon is located in central Tennessee, east of Nashville. The
Hermitage, the estate of former United States President Andrew Jackson, is
located nearby. Nashville Superspeedway is located outside of Lebanon. Cracker
Barrel was founded in Lebanon, and has its corporate headquarters based there.
Lebanon is home to Cumberland University, a small, private, 4-year liberal arts
institution. Lebanon is considered a banking center, and is home to the
corporate headquarters of at least three regional banks. Most of the larger
state and national banks have only a minimal presence in Lebanon.
Among Middle Tennesseans, Lebanon is pronounced "LEB-ah-none", as opposed to the
Middle Eastern nation, "LEB-uh-non." A more country accent, used mostly by
natives of the town, sometimes produces "LEB-nun".
Lebanon is host to the annual Wilson County Fair, which is considered, by those
organizations that rate State and County Fairs, to be the best County Fair in
Tennessee (and better than the Tennessee State Fair in Nashville), and one of
the top County Fairs in the country.
