Juniata County is located in the south-central region of Pennsylvania and was created on March 2, 1831, from a part of Mifflin County. The county was named after the Juniata River, which, in turn, derived its name from the Iroquoian word "Onayutta," meaning "Standing Stone." The Native American tribes that first inhabited the region, mainly the Susquehannocks and the Iroquois, played a significant role in the county's history.

Prior to European colonization, Juniata County was home to wildlife and lush forests. European settlers arrived in the region during the 18th century, with the first documented settler being named Samuel Peoples, who established a trading post along the Susquehanna River in 1743. This area would later become Juniata.

As the population increased, the county began to develop its political, economic, and social systems. Agriculture, particularly grain and livestock farming, played a critical role in the county's economy. The county benefitted from the Pennsylvania Canal, which opened in the 1820s, connecting Juniata to other region's waterways and enhancing transportation and trade.

A fun fact about Juniata County is the presence of a mysterious 18-foot limestone rock called "The Standing Stone," which gave the Juniata River its name. The stone was of great importance to the Iroquois, even though its original purpose remains unknown. It had an engraving of a human face on one side and a hand on the other side. Unfortunately, the stone was reported to be missing in 1754, but its story lives on as a fascinating piece of Juniata history.
