About Union City, Tennessee

Union City is the county seat of Obion County, a city of 11,170 people in northwest Tennessee. In 1852 General George Gibbs named it for the spot where two railroads met: the Nashville and Northwestern line from Hickman, Kentucky, and the Mobile and Ohio. Early in 1861 the Confederates set up Camp Brown a mile north of town, and as many as ten thousand soldiers gathered there before General Leonidas Polk moved into Kentucky and took Columbus that September.

By the early 1880s business and manufacturing had recovered. Trains carried furniture and lumber from the county's factories and sawmills to eastern markets, and Union City grew into a trading center. Its people then pushed to take the county seat away from Troy. After a long public argument and a court fight, Union City won a close referendum, and in July 1890 the county records went to a new courthouse in town.

“Unable to take the Federal stronghold at Union City by storm, the Confederates devised a β€œQuaker cannon” from a black painted log and wagon wheels and successfully demanded unconditional surrender in Forrest’s name.”
