Nestled in the heart of Iowa lies the charming town of Union, founded in 1859 and boasting a population of around 2,134 residents. This hidden gem is a haven for history buffs, as it was once home to the infamous outlaw Jesse James in the late 1800s. Union also shares a sister city relationship with the picturesque town of Vondelingenplaat in the Netherlands, adding an international flair to its small-town charm. With its rich history and friendly community, Union is a must-visit destination for those seeking a taste of Americana with a touch of European influence.
