Louisiana Legislature created Union Parish on March 13, 1839 from Ouachita Parish. In the latter 17th century, the French hunters, trappers and traders appeared first and operated along the Ouachita River valley until the Natchez Indian massacre in 1729, which frightened away any developers for awhile. In the 1940's and 1950's, the French settlers meandered north and named many of the Louisiana bayous and praries. By the 1970's, the region served merely as hunting grounds for Indian and French trappers. The earliest known permanent Eurorpean settler of what is now Union Parish, John Honeycutt, Sr., arrived in the Ouachita Valley region with his family between 1790 and 1795. He obtained the first Spanish land grant that later fell into Union Parish.
Union Parish experienced incredible growth during the twenty-four year period 1837-1861, with settlers arriving from Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia. To handle this influx of immigrants, The Union Parish police jury authorized the construction of a courthouse and grogshop (tavern) in Farmerville, and numerous ferries, bridges and roads all over the parish. Communities started to form requiring the services of at least one newspaper, numerous physicians, lawyers and merchants, as well as cabinet makers, wagon makers, blacksmiths, tailors, carpenters, brick masons and millers.
Union Parish, Louisiana, is one o the few counties (parishes) in the United States to border its namesake in another state -- in this case, Union County, Arkanasas.
