The township has more high hills and low valleys than any other political division in the county, although the valleys are limited to a small area and the hills to the timber land lying along the river. It is bounded on the north, chiefly by Liberty, with its northwestern section lying against Monon Township on the east by Liberty and Jackson townships and the Tippecanoe River, which partly separates it from Carroll County on the south by Big Creek Township and Carroll County, and on the west by Big Creek and Honey Creek townships. Thus Union Township was reduced to about thirty-seven and a half square miles. The political steps by which it was reduced to its present body include the creation of Monon Township in 1836, of Liberty in 1837, and Honey Creek in 1856.
Union Township was one of the four divisions of White County at its organization in 1834, and included all of the present territory west of the Tippccanoe River and north of the line dividing Townships 25 and 26 north, together with the attached territory of what now constitutes the counties of Newton and Jasper and the western portion of Pulaski.
