A Brief History of Union Township, PA

Created in 1790, Union was the first township to be formed after Mifflin County was established in 1789. It was named for the new union of the Thirteen Colonies, with the adoption of the U. S. Constitution.
Settlers living in this section of Armagh Township petitioned the court to create a new township with boundaries “at a certain stream of water extending from the Plumb Bottom to Kishacoquillas Creek emptying into the same near the Widow Alexander’s.”
This is the area where James Alexander, the first settler in the Kishacoquillas Valley is believed to have settled in 1752.
Originally called Greenwood, the largest settlement in Union Township is Belleville, named by a local blacksmith, because it meant “beautiful village.”
The Kishacoquillas Seminary was established in 1847 as a religious school, operated until 1877. A bronze tablet on a native boulder marks the site along US 655.
The Kishacoquillas Valley Railroad operated through the valley from 1893 to 1940. The tracks ran from Belleville to Reedsville in Brown Township, following the south bank of Kishacoquillas Creek.
Amish settlers moved into the area in 1790 and remains one of the most diverse Amish communities today.
