Is it proper to abbreviate “Mount Vernon” as “Mt. Vernon”?
I was recently told that it isn’t proper because it is the name of George Washington’s home, but I can’t find any source to confirm that. Anyone have some insight or preferably a source for information one way or the other?

The Associated Press Stylebook says that “Mount” should always be spelled out, whether the reference is to Mount Vernon or to a city or a mountain.

My opinion: Yes it is proper. That’s why the English language has abbreviations!

“Mt.” is an abbreviation for mountain. “Mount” in “Mount Vernon” is not in reference to a mountain but rather the military term “mount” as in a base. No, it should not be abbreviated.
