The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

The town of Unionville was originally chartered by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1911. Town officials met in the Union Institute building until the building was destroyed by fire. Local leaders, working with the general assembly succeeded in reactivating the town's charter in 1998.

Union County was formed in 1842 from parts of Anson County and Mecklenburg County. The town of Unionville was created in the Goose Creek community on the former Mecklenburg / Anson county line which ran north to south along what is now Unionville Road.
