Time line:
1750-1789 Cumberland County
1789-1831 Mifflin County
1831 – present Juniata County
FORMATION: 1831 from Mifflin Co. From 1750 to 1789, the area that would become Juniata Co. was in Cumberland Co. From 1789 to 1831, it was in Mifflin Co. In 1831, Juniata Co. was formed from southern and eastern Mifflin Co., and its boundaries have not changed since.

BOROUGHS (as of 1990): Mifflin, Mifflintown, Port Royal, Thompsontown.
NOTE: Greenwood Twp. was formed in 1767 in Cumberland County. The township was split in two in 1789 when Mifflin Co. was formed from Cumberland County. In 1820, Perry Co. was formed from Cumberland Co. and included Cumberland's part of Greenwood Twp.; in 1831, Juniata Co. was formed from Mifflin Co. and included Mifflin's part of Greenwood Twp. Obviously, the two Greenwood Twps. are adjacent and are, today, on opposite sides of the Perry-Juniata county line. In 1858, Susquehanna Twp. was formed from Greenwood.
