Location
Unionville is the county seat of Putnam County, Missouri, set on the rolling uplands of north-central Missouri near the Iowa border. A compact grid of streets links neighborhoods to the courthouse square, schools, and parks, while US-136 and state routes connect residents to regional towns, lakes, and conservation areas for fishing, hunting, and weekend drives.
History
Established in the mid-19th century, Unionville grew as a service center for surrounding farms and livestock operations. Rail and wagon routes supported trading houses, mills, and civic buildings that shaped the present downtown. Preserved storefronts and monuments reflect a heritage of county government, agriculture, and small-town commerce that continues to anchor community life.
Community
Unionville’s calendar features county fairs, school athletics, and festivals that bring families to the square. Local shops, cafés, and professional services provide daily convenience, while nearby lakes and trails promote an outdoor lifestyle. The city’s close-knit civic groups and volunteer organizations sustain a friendly atmosphere year-round.
