At the point when the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad came to Grand Lake in 1888, the railroad director, G.W. Holdrege, needed to transform it to a basic single word name nearer to the start of the letter set, which he thought would be better for business.

The U.S. Mail station gave Holdrege consent, and he picked "Union" for the new name of the town. Cooperation was fused as a city in 1891. The Alliance Army Airfield was built up in 1942.
