== Fun facts ==
* In the 1930s, the damming of the Clinch River by Norris Dam to form Norris Lake inundated a large part of the county, 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.
* Chet Atkins, Mr. Guitar himself, or The Country Gentleman, was born in Luttrell.
* Union County's guildmaster, Peter Guidry, is a rather polarizing figure due to the fact while it's usually common tradition that guildmasters not be open about their politics, Peter has not been afraid to show his support for Donald Trump. Now, Union County is very heavy Trump country, and most of Tennessee is as well. However, when you are a guildmaster, regardless of which side your support, it's wisest that you keep your politics to yourself, as not doing so can cause expeditioners to lose respect of you.
* Sharps Chapel is the site of the administrative office for Chuck Swan State Forest and Wildlife Management Area, a forested tract of more than 24,000 acres (9,800 ha) located between the Clinch River and Powell River arms of Norris Lake, that is jointly managed by the Tennessee Forestry Division and Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency for wildlife habitat and forest stand improvement.
* Maynardville was originally known as Liberty, but was renamed in honor of attorney and congressman, Horace Maynard, who had defended the county in a court case that sought to block its formation.
