About Junction City

Junction City is a quiet, friendly Portage County village of around 400 residents. The community got its start in the 1870s when two major rail lines crossed paths, quickly growing around the train depot that gave the town its name. Today, it retains that classic small-town feel, offering a peaceful, slow-paced setting where neighbors know one another.
