Uniontown, WA

Uniontown is a Whitman County town in the Palouse, a rolling farming region of southeastern Washington. Thomas Freeborn Montgomery settled here in 1867, filed his homestead in 1874, and helped secure a post office in 1878. Those dates describe a place built around homesteads and grain routes, and the town sits among broad hill country where the agricultural landscape is part of the view in every direction.

Uniontown's local institutions serve a small rural population while the town remains tied to a wider four-city orbit. Pullman lies about 15 miles northwest, Moscow 16 miles northeast, Lewiston 14 miles southeast, and Clarkston 16 miles south. The town's own civic life is summed up in its "Small Town, Big Story" motto, with Palouse wheat country setting the scene. Grain fields remain the clearest daily reference point for Uniontown's civic life and regional role. Its homes, streets, and public spaces sit inside that landscape, while the four nearby cities supply the larger regional network.
