About Union

Tucked into the southeast corner of the Grande Ronde Valley, Union is a quiet, scenic town of about 2,100 residents along Catherine Creek. The community dates back to the 1860s, and you can still see that heritage in its historic Main Street buildings, vintage homes, and the local Carnegie library. Surrounded by wide-open farm country with the mountains rising in the distance, it offers a peaceful rural setting with plenty of small-town character.

Union County Museum

Families in town are served by Union Elementary and Union High School, where community support for local athletics and student activities runs strong. Agriculture and ranching remain central to local life, celebrated each June during the historic Eastern Oregon Livestock Show. Between fishing on Catherine Creek, exploring nearby trails, and enjoying a slower pace of day-to-day living, Union is a welcoming spot for anyone looking for open space and a tight-knit neighborhood feel.
