The source behind the name
USGS GNIS Populated Place names in all 50 states and DC. Features in the historical extract or explicitly named historical are excluded; duplicate decision records with identical identities and coordinates are collapsed. GNIS points identify names, not legal or neighborhood boundaries, current occupancy, school attendance or a statistical population. Nearby Census places and tracts remain separately named geographies. Name completeness and currency vary; this is not a claim to include every locally used neighborhood name.

USGS description & history
Located in the central part of the county, 22km (14 mi) N of Watertown and 76 km (47 mi) NW of Juneau.
Settled in 1844 by Martin Rich who named the village Victory as it was chosen over the already existing communities of Fox Lake and Watertown as the county seat for Dodge County. In 1848, the community was renamed Dodge Center because of its central location in the county. Since a town by the same name already existed in Wisconsin, Juneau became the community's name. The name honors Solomon Juneau (1793-1856), first Postmaster and Mayor of Milwaukee. (US-T131/Romance of WI Place Names/p62)
