About Union

Union is a quiet village set among the rolling fields of Cass County in southeastern Nebraska. Founded in 1890 where two railroad lines crossed, the town earned its name from the junction that connected routes heading toward Omaha, Lincoln, and Nebraska City. Those early rail days established the village layout, leaving behind a compact, peaceful neighborhood surrounded by open farmland.
