Union County, Administrative county in South Carolina, United States.
Union County is an administrative county in South Carolina spanning approximately 515 square miles with multiple industrial and residential areas. The Broad River forms a natural boundary and influences the landscape of the region.
European settlers established their first settlements near Fairforest Creek in 1751. The area transformed from former Cherokee hunting grounds into an agricultural and residential region.
The University of South Carolina at Union serves as a learning hub where students engage with academics and community life together. This institution shapes how the county sees itself and its future.
The county government office is located in Union and provides services to residents including tax collection and election administration. Visitors can get information about local matters and submit applications there.
During the Civil War, the area remained largely untouched because flooding from the Broad River prevented Sherman's troops from advancing through it. This geographic isolation protected the region from major war destruction.
