Union County

Union County is an administrative division in north-central Florida that encompasses several small communities and rural areas. The county spans a mixed landscape with a quieter pace compared to nearby metropolitan regions.

Union County was established in 1921 from portions of Bradford County and named after the principle of union. The area developed as an agricultural region throughout the 20th century.

The Sheriff's Office Administrative Division manages community programs, produces quarterly newsletters, and coordinates public safety initiatives to maintain connections with local residents.

The county is accessible by several highways and offers easy access to smaller towns and natural areas. Visitors will find local services and shops mostly concentrated along main roads.

The county maintains a Veteran Grave Registration Database through the County Clerk's office, documenting and preserving military service members' final resting locations.
