Wikipedia, July 4, 2019 (Joliet, Illinois; City of Joliet; city in Will and Kendall counties; county seat of Will County; James B. Campbell, treasurer of the canal commissioners, laid out the village of "Juliet", named after his daughter.[8] Just before the economic depression of 1837, Juliet incorporated as a village, but to cut tax expenses, Juliet residents soon petitioned the state to rescind that incorporation. In 1845, local residents changed the community's name from "Juliet" to "Joliet". Joliet was reincorporated as a city in 1852)
