Union County is a county located in the U.S. state of Tennessee. As of the 2010 census, the population was 19,109.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/47/47173.html )〕 Its county seat is Maynardville.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )
Union County is included in the Knoxville, TN Metropolitan Statistical Area.
==History==
Union County was formed in 1850 from portions of Grainger, Claiborne, Campbell, Anderson and Knox counties. There are at least two theories on the source of its name. The name may commemorate the "union" of sections of five counties, or it may reflect East Tennessee's support for the preservation of the Union in the years before the Civil War.〔(Origins Of Tennessee County Names ), ''Tennessee Blue Book'', 2005-2006, page 513〕 The county seat was originally named "Liberty," but renamed "Maynardville" in honor of attorney and congressman, Horace Maynard, who had defended the county in a court case that sought to block its formation.〔
In the 1930s, the damming of the Clinch River by Norris Dam to form Norris Lake inundated a large part of the county,〔(History ), Union County Chamber of Commerce website, accessed December 5, 2009〕 including the community of Loyston, and displaced many residents. With assistance from the National Park Service and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) developed Big Ridge State Park as a demonstration park on the shore of the lake in Union County. The park's recreational facilities opened in May 1934.〔(America from the Great Depression to World War II: Black-and-White Photographs from the FSA-OWI, 1935-1945, LC-USW33- 015718-C )〕
