Union County Summary
County History
Union County, Pennsylvania is located in the north-central part of the state and is part of the Susquehanna Valley region. The county was created in 1813 from parts of Northumberland and Lycoming counties. It was named for the union of the two counties. The county seat is Lewisburg, which was founded in 1785 and is the oldest town in the county.
The first settlers in the area were German immigrants who arrived in the early 1700s. They were followed by Scots-Irish and English settlers in the mid-1700s. The county was largely agricultural until the mid-1800s when the Pennsylvania Canal and the Sunbury and Erie Railroad were built.
