Presbyterian Cemetery, the oldest in Union, was established about 1817 and was sometimes called the village cemetery. In 1818 a Presbyterian union church used by other denominations as well moved here from a 1783 site about 2 miles east. Alexander Macbeth then deeded the cemetery to the elders for use as a burying ground of a Presbyterian meeting house. The cemetery includes the graves of many prominent citizens of Union, both Presbyterian and members of other denominations. Governors David Johnson (1782-1855) and Thomas B. Jeter (1827-1883) are buried here. It was also the site of the first Union Presbyterian Church, a frame church built about 1819 and sold to the Union City School District in 1883.
