The town was named after the Hobe Indian tribe, who dwelt at the mouth of the Loxahatchee River and whose name is also perpetuated in the name of neighboring Hobe Sound. A mapmaker mistook the Spanish spelling Jobe of the local people’s name Hobe for Jove. 

Subsequent mapmakers mistook this for the name of the Roman god Jupiter, and so adopted the more popular name of Jupiter.
