Unionville CDP (Beaver County), PA

Unionville is a census-designated place in New Sewickley Township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, at the crossing of Route 68 and Brush Creek. The township is rolling farm country shaped by the creek valley, Big Knob, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike; Unionville sits where the road crosses the water. Route 68 is the local spine, carrying the village toward neighboring Beaver County communities and the Ohio River corridor.

Unionville's history remains visible in its church and place names. The Unionville Methodist congregation grew from early meetings in local homes, appeared in written records in 1839 under the name Brush Creek, and built a frame church around 1842. New Sewickley is part of Freedom Area School District, and the church still lists a Route 68 address with regular services and youth programs. The Brush Creek crossing still gives the village its map. The local scoop is that Unionville is a village-sized place whose identity sits in the old church and the farm roads around it.
