FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I really live in the City of Union?
A common question is – My address is Union, therefore I live in the city, right? Well, maybe. The United States Postal Service sets mailing addresses, and they have a larger geographical designation for “Union” than the city limits. The physical city limits of the City are smaller than the postal designation for Union. For reference, please see the current city map available at City of Union Boundary Map
