Jufureh (also spelled Juffureh or Juffure) is a town in the Gambia, 30 kilometres inland on the north bank of the River Gambia in the North Bank Division near Kunta Kinteh Island.

This led to economic benefits for the town, including the construction of an elementary school, a new market aimed at tourists, and improved roads.

[2] In 1651 a small plot of land from the village was leased by Jacob Kettler, the Duke of Courland, from the king of Kombo, as part of the Couronian colonization of Africa.

[3] Jufureh was a part of the Kingdom of Niumi and by the 18th century the town had become an important centre of the Atlantic slave trade.

[4] The Tall family of Jufureh traditionally held the position of falifo in the kingdom, and were responsible for collecting customs revenue from passing traders and adjudicating disputes.
