About Union City

Located in the northwest corner of Tennessee, Union City is a welcoming small town with around 11,000 residents. It grew up as a railroad junction in the 1800s and remains the main hub for Obion County today. Daily life is quiet and affordable, with wide-open farmland surrounding the town and straightforward highway access north into Kentucky or south toward Memphis and Jackson.

Locals have quick access to Discovery Park of America, an impressive 50-acre attraction featuring interactive science, nature, and history exhibits that draw visitors from all over the region. Downtown offers a classic Main Street feel anchored by the restored Capitol Theatre, and outdoor lovers are only a short drive from boating and eagle watching at Reelfoot Lake. Between the independent city school system, steady industrial jobs, and a close-knit community, Union City is a comfortable place to settle down.
