Union Township was formed from the southern
part of Bethlehem Township in 1853. It was named for Union Furnace which was
producing iron as early as 1700. Union Furnace and its forge produced cannon
balls for the Revolution and shoes for horses and oxen, as well as farm
implements. Forests gave way to farm fields as trees were cut down to stoke the
furnace. A farm community then developed along with the accompanying industries
of basket making and tanning.
