Union County, New Jersey is a vibrant region with a rich history dating back to its founding in 1857. It is situated in the northeastern part of the state and covers approximately 105 square miles. The county was formed from portions of Essex County, as lawmakers felt that the growing population and increasing industrialization warranted the creation of a new, separate governing unit.

Before the arrival of European settlers, the area was inhabited by the Lenape Native Americans, who farmed along the rivers and coastlines. In the 1600s, the Dutch and English settlers began establishing colonies, and the region started to see rapid growth. One of the early settlements, Elizabeth Town, was founded in 1664 by English settlers, becoming an important trade outpost and the first seat of the government of New Jersey.

Union County played a significant role in the American Revolution, with numerous battles, skirmishes, and encampments taking place in the region. It was the site of two major battles: the Battle of Short Hills in 1777 and the Battle of Connecticut Farms in 1780.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Union County became highly industrialized, with the cities of Elizabeth and Linden serving as manufacturing centers. Many industries, such as manufacturing, transportation, and logistics, continue to be important contributors to the economy.

Today, Union County is known for its diverse population, cultural attractions, and picturesque parks. It offers a mix of urban and suburban living, with excellent schools, a thriving arts scene, and ample recreational opportunities. The county is also home to the world's tallest water sphere, a local landmark located in the town of Union. This structure, built in 1964, stands at 212 feet and is an example of the engineering and architectural marvels found throughout the county.

Overall, Union County offers a unique blend of historical significance, modern amenities, and natural beauty, making it a desirable place to live, work, and visit within the great state of New Jersey.
