The Story of Jupiter and its Neighbors

The "Jupiter History Web" site is a volunteer project in cooperation with the Town of Jupiter Information Systems Department. Web server space for this site is provided by the Town of Jupiter. The project goals include building a store of historical information for the Town Archives and placing it on the web for all to share, but our mission extends beyond the Town limits.

Jupiter Pioneer Historian Lynn Lasseter Drake, a member of our Web Committee, is in the process of writing a genealogical history of the pioneers of Jupiter, both white and African American. She is also compiling a history of the old Jupiter Pioneer Cemetery, now Riverside Memorial Park, with everyone who is known to be buried there to present day.

From time to time, we are including interesting stories of pioneer families with their genealogies on our website. We are listing an index of some of the pioneers in this database.

If you are a descendant and have something you'd like to share; stories, old photos, journals or diaries, or just want to learn more about your ancestors, please contact Lynn at: e-mail: jupiterhistory@bellsouth.net
