Union Deposit (formerly called Unionville and Uniontown) was laid out in 1833 by Isaac Hershey (west end) and Philip Wolfersberger (east end).[2] The village's original growth and namesake comes from construction of the Union Canal, which deposited goods in the area, upon where the village boomed from various commercial enterprises.[3]
