Jupiter is a town located in Palm Beach County, Florida. As of the 2000 census, the town had a total
population of 39,328. As of 2006, the city had a population of 50,028 according to the University of
Florida, Bureau of Economic and Business Research.
The area where the town now sits was originally named for the Hobe Indian tribe which lived at the
mouth of the Loxahatchee River, and whose name is also preseved in the name of nearby Hobe
Sound. A mapmaker misunderstood the Spanish spelling 'Jobe' of the Indian name 'Hobe' and
recorded it as 'Jove'. Subsequent mapmakers further misunderstood this to be the Latin translation of
the god Jupiter, and they anglicized the name from Jove to 'Jupiter.' The Roman god Jupiter (or Zeus
in the Greek mythology) is the chief Roman god, husband of Juno, and god of light, of the sky and
weather, and of the state and its welfare and its laws. It inspired a neighboring village to name itself
"Juno Beach".
The most notable landmark is the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, completed in 1860. Made of brick, it was
painted red in 1910 due to discoloration caused by humidity. The lighthouse is often used as the
symbol for Jupiter.
