Unionville

Generic American placename

Unionville is a common place name across the United States and Canada, typically denoting small towns or neighborhoods.

The name reflects 19th-century optimism about unity—whether national unity around the Civil War era or the joining of smaller communities.

Most Unionvilles are modest settlements: We drove through Unionville on our way to the lake.
