More information about Juno Beach, FL

History

Juno Beach is located in Palm Beach County, Florida. The area in which the town currently presides has a history that dates back to around 500 B.C.E. During this
time, various native tribes inhabited the area. Over the centuries that followed, these tribes thrived on the abundance of Florida’s Atlantic Coast. This all changed in
1513 when Juan Ponce de Leon and his Spanish expedition arrived on the Florida coast. From that point on, Europeans and their ancestors have dominated the area’s
history.

The town of Juno Beach is built out of what was the town of Juno, which was established in the late 1800’s. The town of Juno thrived throughout the 19 th century
because it was a transportation terminal that linked several major transportation networks which connected northern Florida and Southern Florida. Unfortunately
for Juno, in 1893, a new railway, the Lake Worth Railway, was built bypassing the transportation hub that had developed there. It was at this time, that Henry Flagler
started to develop a community to the south known as West Palm Beach. This meant that the community was no longer going to play an important role in connecting
Jupiter with Miami. The community therefore began to struggle.

In 1948, Bessemer Properties, Inc. platted an area of land attached to the Seminole Golf Course, which had been built several years earlier. This subdivision would
eventually become Juno Beach. The town was incorporated in 1953. The community has developed and grown ever since. The 1980’s were an especially significant
decade of growth for the community.

Today

The population of the community is around 3,500 people today. It is mainly a residential community, which triples in size during the peak tourism season. It is a
popular destination for tourists coming to the Atlantic shores of Florida because of its proximity to the countless things that there is to do between Jupiter and Palm
Beach.
