How the name came about :
Jonquerus (1137) ; Juncarium (1200) ; Jonquieyras (1393)

Its history is inextricably linked to that of the Principality of Orange, apart from three domains which were infeoffed by the Princes.
In the heart of the village there is still a fortified wall, which served up until the 18th century. The church, first built in 1137, was rebuilt in 1419, and was consecrated again on November 7 1982, after it was renovated.It has a central aisle and a vault dating back to 1772.

The three feudal fiefs :

- Causans. A few houses built around the centrepiece, which is the superb Castle, property of the Marquis de Causans. The building is in the Renaissance style. It is composed of a central building with its wings either side forming a u-shape, surronding the central courtyard ("la Cour d'Honneur". At the end of both wings there are two superb pepperpot turrets.

- Beauregard. The location used to house a hostelry, which was situated on the right bank of the River Ouvèze, and which was known as "Le Logis". It was destroyed in 1944. Its present appearance was given to it by the Marquis
Raoul de Billiot: a central body with its wings coming back to form a u-shape, with turrets on the inside angles, in the Renaissance style.

- Malijay. Originally a feudal building. Nowadays however all that dates back to the first building is one tower, the ground floor of which used to be the chapel. Today the site is renowned for its numerous musical events organised during the season (concerts of jazz, classical music, contemporary music...)

Jonquières is also famed for its "Innovation and Invention Fair" held every third week-end of October.
