Juncos, Municipality in eastern Puerto Rico

Located in the eastern central region of Puerto Rico, Juncos covers an area of 26.59 square miles between Canóvanas, Carolina, Gurabo, and Las Piedras.

Tomás Pizarro established Juncos in 1797, transforming the area from a ranch called Hatillo de los Juncos into an official municipality of Puerto Rico.

The town celebrates Fiestas Patronales Inmaculada Concepcion de Maria each December with traditional dances, food vendors, parades, and religious ceremonies.

The municipality maintains 28 bridges across its territory and operates a collective ferry-on-wheels transportation system for local mobility needs.

The Amgen Puerto Rico biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility represents one of the largest employment centers in this agricultural region.
