The town of Union, Missouri was built on donated land in 1826. The 72 1/2 acres was donated by three farmers who had built log cabins on the land. The county courthouse was completed in 1828 and within the first 15 years, the town added a blacksmith, two general stores, a wagon maker, a cabinet maker, a shoemaker, a hotel, a tavern, and a four story flour mill. The post office was opened on July 20, 1827. By 1887, the population had grown to 610 and the town was experiencing a boom due to the completion of the St. Louis-Kansas City and Colorado railroad through Union.
