Saint-Julia is a commune located in the northeast of the Haute-Garonne department and the Occitania region (France).
Historically and culturally, the commune is in Lauragais, the former “Land of Plenty”, linked both to the cultivation of pastel and the abundance of production, and to the “breadbasket of Languedoc”. Exposed to an altered oceanic climate, it is drained by the Peyrencou and various other small rivers.
Saint-Julia is a rural commune which has 416 inhabitants in 2021, after having experienced a population peak of 1,015 inhabitants in 1836. It is part of the Toulouse catchment area. Its inhabitants are called Saint-Julianais or Saint-Julianaises.
