Union City, PA

Welcome to Union City, PA!

The Pennsylvania Heritage Community of Union City rests on land once full of Native American paths, thick swamps, and an abundance of virgin timber. The arrival of settlers in the late 1700s, as well as the sawmill and gristmill they built—once located where Main Street and Hogan’s Alley are today—propelled Union City into industry, becoming “the chair center of the world” and, now, the virtuous community we all love!
