History
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.[5] The designation in 1944 of a namesake D-Day landing beach in Normandy, named for Juno Dawnay, a Canadian officer's wife,[6] was purely coincidental.
A pier was built in 1946[7] and the town was platted in 1948.[8] The original pier was destroyed during a November storm in 1984 [9] and a new 993-foot Juno Beach Pier built in 1999.[10][7]
