History

In 1746, Brynolf Brunou established an ironworks near the rapids between Vuotjärvi and Akonvesi. The area was a part of the Nilsiä chapel community of the Kuopio parish. Nilsiä became a separate parish in 1816 and a municipality in 1869. Juankoski was moved to the Muuruvesi parish in 1907, remaining a part of it until Juankoski became a separate municipality in 1923. Muuruvesi and Säyneinen were consolidated with Juankoski in 1971.

Juankoski was consolidated with Kuopio in 2017.

Museum Masuuni Brunou focuses on the area's iron and cardboard industry, as well as local history.
