Less than 30 minutes from the hectic
pace of life and traffic congestion in West St. Louis County, you'll
find the City of Union quietly located just off I-44 in the heart of Franklin County.
Established
in 1825 as the County Seat, Union enjoys a diverse landscape that includes
new commercial developments and growing subdivisions mixed with rolling hills,
farmer's fields and forest groves.
During the last 20 years, this once sleepy,
farmer's town in eastern Missouri has been steadily transforming itself
into a strong bedroom community and an industrial hub for the region.
Union
has a growing population of 9,000 residents, more than 300 businesses,
and is home to East Central College with an enrollment of 3,500 students.
In
a nationwide survey released in 2001, Union was ranked "One of the Top 10 Best
Small Towns in the United States" and was the only Missouri community on the entire
list.
With a progressive future just beginning to unfold, Union, Missouri
definitely offers "Small
Town Charm with Big City Opportunities!"

Located right off I-44 in Franklin County, the City of Union
is close to some spectacular tourist and recreational venues like Six
