Juanicó is a small industrial town located 35 km north of Montevideo, within the Canelones Department, Uruguay.

Location

The town is located just east of Route 5, about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) south of the city of Canelones. The railroad tracks Montevideo - 25 de Agosto pass through the town.

History

The town owes its current denomination to Francisco Juanicó, who, in 1830, finished with cattle raising. He then built up a winery who enabled him to produce high-quality wine, mainly due to the favorable conditions of the land.

On 19 November 2002, the status of the populated centre was elevated to "Villa" (town) by the Act of Ley Nº 17.587.

Population

In 2011 Juanicó had a population of 1,305.
