A "union" church, founded as a Presbyterian congregation but also used by other denominations, stood here from about 1783 to about 1819. The church was founded about 1765 at Brown's Creek, 2 or 3 mi. northeast, where it met in two successive log churches but suspended services at times during the American Revolution. Not long after the war, probably about 1783, the congregation moved here and built a hewn-log church with entrances on the west and south and a high boxed pulpit. Baptists, Quakers, and others also used the church. Union County, founded as a judicial district in 1785, and its county seat Unionville, now Union, were named for this "union" church. Several veterans of the American Revolution are buried here. About 1819, the congregation moved to Unionville and built a church there.
