Union County was established in 1842 when it was formed from both Anson and Mecklenburg Counties. There was some disagreement on the name for the new county between political parties. Depending on the point of view, the county should be named Clay or Jackson. The name Union was adopted as a compromise between the two parties. Later both Clay County and Jackson County were used for new counties in the state.
