Juanicó
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.[1]
On 19 November 2002, the status of the populated centre was elevated to "Villa" (town) by the Act of Ley Nº 17.587.[2]
Population
In 2011 Juanicó had a population of 1,305.[3][4]
