It is located on a terp (artificial living mound) to the northeast of Dokkum and to the southeast of Metslawier.
The village was first mentioned in 1495 as Juusweer, and means "terp of Jouw(we) (person)".[5] The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1557 and the tower dates from 1752. It was restored in 1987. A large part of the terp has been excavated. In 1840, Jouswier was home to 59 people.[4]
