 * Chapter 2, Article I, Section 2-8 of the Code of Ordinances, City of Joliet, Illinois provides, "The only official, correct and proper pronunciation and spelling of the name of this city shall be Jo-li-et; the accent on the first syllable, with the "o" in the first syllable pronounced in its long sound, as in the words "so," "no" and "foe" and any other pronunciations to be discouraged as interfering with the desired uniformity in respect to the proper pronunciation of the name of this city. (Code 1939, § 1.127; Code 1961, § 1-17)" Squideshi (talk) 22:59, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Layman's answer: Joe-Lee-et is the proper pronunciation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soco 79 (talk • contribs) 15:12, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

incomprehensible part
This is incomprehensible, so i can't fix it: " In 1833 Joliet, following the Black Hawk War, Charles Reed built a cabin along the west side of the Des Plaines River. " --Espoo (talk) 09:26, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

Article needs location map
I see that some changes have been made regarding Illinois place name location maps. Joliet really needs one as it's the fourth-largest city in Illinois. Bumm13 (talk) 03:52, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
