Union, situated on the banks above the Stillwater River, was the location of many mills including the Hoover grist mill, Shaw sawmill, and Sheets boring mill used in their manufacture of long rifles. Union was laid out in 1816, one month after Salem. The Salem-Union Turnpike connected the two and facilitated trade between them. Union had all the amenities of a larger town including an opera house. Union residents were served by both the traction and railroad but their closing in the early 1920s resulted in a reduction of activity. Union today is primarily a residential community taking advantage of growth opportunities on both sides of the Stillwater River. |
