A rural town center on the Tennessee-Alabama border
Pulaski is the community hub and seat of Giles County, where annual events celebrate the city's thriving industries – from one of the highest beef production rates in south-central Tennessee to Sun Drop, the iconic southern drink. Automobile parts, steel and popular food brands also operate facilities on the city outskirts near farmland and forests. Frito-Lay invested $100 million to expand its Pulaski operations in 2020, adding 100 new jobs to the county, while 25 acres of gentle hills recently opened up as Dan Speer Industrial Park South. Hometown digs and local grocers surround the Giles County Courthouse, while urban amenities are to the north in Nashville or across the Alabama state line in Huntsville.
Pulaski has a growing population of over 8,000 people in Tennessee.

Pulaski’s housing styles, from historic cottages to new builds
The median home price in Pulaski is around $270,000, below the national median and those of Nashville and Huntsville. "We've got a little bit of everything, whether it's a house in town, or new construction in a neighborhood, or a house on 5-plus-however-many acres," says Bo Ingram, longtime local with Bass & Ingram Realtors. Historical markers decorate the lawns of some centrally located homes on the National Register of Historic Places. Yards throughout the city are shrouded in diverse foliage, though most roads don't include sidewalks. FBI statistics show that both violent and property crimes have trended downward since 2015.
Historic homes that date back to the late 1800s and 1900s are spread throughout Pulaski.
Newer homes including farmhouses are being built on the outskirts of Pulaski.

Gearing up for Here’s the Beef
Pulaski hosts the Here's the Beef Festival, a Giles County celebration of agriculture workers, technology and education. The weeklong affair kicks off with the Miss Here's the Beef Pageant and includes a Farm to Table Dinner in the downtown square, the Giles County Rodeo and a cattle show. Businesses crowd their windows with Sun Drop memorabilia ahead of SunDrop Fest every second Saturday in June, which reaches beyond the drink to celebrate Pulaski's history and culture.
Small-town bites and chain fare in Pulaski
Pulaski pairs locally owned eateries and shops with fast food and sparse chain options, most concentrated in or near the downtown square. Bites range from The Rusty Spur Steakhouse to Hickory House Restaurant; Calamity Jane Ice Cream recently bought its brick-and-mortar location in town after providing food truck services for years. Davis & Eslick Grocery is the locally owned grocer, while Walmart is the big-box option.

Pulaski’s city parks and historical markers
South-central Tennessee gets humid summers and cool winters. The Pulaski Parks and Recreation Department building includes a pool, fitness room and other indoor amenities for residents. Many outdoor options include ball fields; Giles County Little League plays at Exchange Park Baseball Park, while Magazine Road Park is in a peaceful corner on the east side.
Pulaski also has historical roots in and after the Civil War, and some of its parks play an educational role, highlighting aspects of the city's history that could have become lost to time. "Resurrection of Valor," a Cave Spring Heritage Plaza statue, honors the 110th & 111th regiments of the U.S. Colored Troops who served in Giles County. It's part of the wider Giles County Civil War Trail that extends beyond Pulaski.
The Pulaski Parks and Recreation Center has an indoor gym and splash pad to enjoy during the Summer.
Exchange Park Baseball Park was established in 1958 in Pulaski.

From Giles County schools to UT Southern and TCAT
Giles County School District scores a C-plus from Niche and covers Pulaski and surrounding rural areas. Buses transport students living too far to walk from their home school. The city has been home to the University of Tennessee Southern since 1870, though the four-year college joined the wider University of Tennessee system in 2021. The Tennessee College of Applied Technology - Pulaski is a local trade school option. "They're adding 30,000 more square feet, doubling the size," Ingram says. The extension will likely reach completion in 2026.
Giles County High School enrolls over 700 students every year in Pulaski.
Pulaski Elementary School enrolls over 400 students every year.
University of Tennessee Southern is the major university in Pulaski.

Getting in and out of Pulaski towards Nashville and Huntsville
Pulaski is a car-dependent community, with one main drag providing a straight shot north and south. "We have four exits into our county off Interstate 65," Ingram says. "We're sandwiched right in the middle of Nashville and Huntsville – 45 minutes to Huntsville, an hour to Nashville." Folks shop for flight rates from either international airport in these urban cores. A Southern Tennessee Regional Health System campus with an emergency room serves Pulaski on the city's southeast corner.
