As a sister settlement to the town of Jupiter to the north, the development was named, at some point in the 19th century, after Jupiter's wife, the ancient Roman goddess Juno.[7] The designation in 1944 of a namesake D-Daylanding beach in Normandy, named for Juno Dawnay, a Canadian officer's wife,[8] was purely coincidental.
A pier was built in 1946[9] and the town was platted in 1948.[10] It was officially incorporated as a town in 1953.[1] The original pier was destroyed during a November storm in 1984 [11] and a new 993-foot Juno Beach Pier built in 1999.[9][12]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 1.9 square miles (4.9 km2), of which 0.5 square miles (1.3 km2) (25.13%) is covered by water.
