Oraşul Juneau, sau oficial, Oraşul şi Comitatul Juneau, conform originalului din limba engleză, [The] City and Borough of Juneau, este o municipalitate unită, constând din oraşul propriu-zis (The City of Juneau) şi cartierele sale aferente, care sunt echivalente administrativ cu un comitat din Statele Unite continentale, (The Borough of Juneau), localizată pe Gastineau Channel al arhipelagului Alexander din statul Alaska al Statelor Unite ale Americii, fiind totodată şi capitala acestui stat. Municipalitatea s-a unificat în 1970, când [the] City of Juneau a fuzionat cu [the] City of Douglas şi cartierele înconjurătoare pentru a forma prezenta municipalitate.
The city, Alaska's third-largest in terms of population (after Anchorage and Fairbanks), is nestled at the base of Mount Juneau and across the channel from Douglas Island. As of the 2000 census, the City and Borough had a population of 30,711. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2005 population estimate for the City and Borough was 30,987[1].
Juneau was named after gold prospector Joe Juneau. The Tlingit name of the town is Dzántik'i Héeni "river where the flounders gather", and Auke Bay just north of Juneau proper is called Aak'w "little lake" in Tlingit. The Taku River just south of Juneau was named after the cold t'aakh wind that blows down from the mountains, and is the source of some of Juneau's more unpleasant weather.
