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."
