'''Bartlett''' is a city in [[Shelby County, Tennessee]], United States.

==History==
Bartlett, originally called "Union Depot", first served as the last major Tennessean [[Stage station|depot]] along the westward [[stagecoach]] route from [[Nashville, Tennessee|Nashville]]. It later shifted to serve as a [[train station|rail station]] after the stagecoach route was replaced by the Memphis & Ohio Railroad. An agricultural community gradually emerged around the depot and subsequent station that saw little growth until after the [[American Civil War]].<ref name=goodspeed>{{cite book|title=History of Tennessee from the Earliest Time to the Present|year=1886|publisher=[[Goodspeed Publishing]]}}</ref>

The community saw quick growth during [[Reconstruction era|Reconstruction]], and by 1886 was home to a [[school]], two [[gristmill]]s, three [[church (congregation)|churches]], several [[general store]]s, and about 300 inhabitants.<ref name=goodspeed/> It had been officially incorporated on November 1, 1866,<ref>{{Cite web|title = Municipal Technical Advisory Service - City Information|url = http://www.mtas.tennessee.edu/gml-mtas.nsf/Webstatecityinfo/FF3016256DC95BA285256AF7005EDA00?OpenDocument|website = www.mtas.tennessee.edu|access-date = June 2, 2015|archive-date = July 16, 2016|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160716022737/http://www.mtas.tennessee.edu/gml-mtas.nsf/Webstatecityinfo/FF3016256DC95BA285256AF7005EDA00?OpenDocument|url-status = dead}}</ref> with a population of less than 100 under the inaugural mayorship of Bryan Wither. The city derived its name from Major Gabriel M. Bartlett, a planter and pioneer settler of the area, whose homeplace was located on the old Raleigh-Somerville Road (Stage Road) at the present location of Bartlett Station Plaza.

In 2022, it was the eleventh largest city in Tennessee.
