History: The smallest county in the state, Union County was established from a portion of Bradford County in 1921. The county was to be named New River, the original name of Bradford County. The source of the name Union is unclear, although it has been suggested that Union was derived from the fact that both parts of Bradford County were united in desiring a separation.
