UnionCounty
For years Union County was known as being home to Scotts lawn care products, and then Honda opened its first factory in the county and almost overnight Union County became an international success.
Before the first settlers and pioneers arrived in the area, the land was populated by various groups of Wyandot, Miami, Delaware and Shawnee Native Americans.
The first town was plotted out by Lucas Sullivant in the area was North Liberty along Big Darby. Sullivant is probably best known for laying out the town of Franklin that would later become part of Columbus. Union County was created in 1820.
Marysville
When Union County was formed from portions of Delaware, Franklin Madison and Logan Counties in 1820, and a year later as they were drawing up the townships, it was decided that Marysville would become the new County Seat.
Marysville was named
Milford Center
Although the county seat for Union County was always intended to be located in Marysville, the first county courthouse was temporarily created in Milford Center which was established in 1816 by George Reed. Today they have what some consider to be a recreation of that first court house on display just a block north of the main intersection.
Union County Covered Bridge Festival
The Union County Covered Bridge Festival is quickly becoming a regional favorite. In early Septembe visitors have the opportunity to tour Union County's historic covered bridges and learn more about their history throughout Union County.
