Union County, Administrative county in South Carolina, United States.
Union County spans across 515 square miles of land in South Carolina, bordered by the Broad River and containing multiple industrial centers and residential communities.
European settlers established their first settlements near Fairforest Creek in 1751, transforming the former Cherokee hunting grounds into agricultural and residential areas.
The University of South Carolina at Union campus serves as an educational center, providing associate degrees to 300-400 students each semester in various academic programs.
The county government operates from 203 West Main Street in Union, where residents can access services including tax collection, elections administration, and public safety departments.
The county territory remained largely untouched during the Civil War as flooding from the Broad River prevented Sherman's troops from advancing into the region.
