West Union: Incorporated in 1881 by Circuit Court. Name
suggested by Nathan Davis, who owned the land upon which the town
was located. The town was established just across Middle Island
Creek from Lewisport, which had some half dozen residences at the
time an effort was being made to change the name of that
settlement to Union; hence the name, "West Union."
