Union Hill Tennessee, a Dead Town

Before Livingston Tennessee, before Hilham, there was a town in Overton County Tennessee that would have been the county seat and stopped the formation of Rickman, Livingston and Hilham.
Once there was Union Hill. Settled due to its water source and meandering road connection to Cookeville Tennessee. It was spread out over several miles and connected several important roads at the time.
But progress took that away. The railroad from Algood wanted a line into to the heart of Overton County and the best route was to connect to a small town called Livingston. The line would bypass Union Hill.
When news spread many of the people of Union Hill tore down their houses and relocated to Livingston. In fact so many moved the town of Union Hill died. 
There is not much left today and before that disappeared I captured what I could as a remembrance to a town now dead and forgotten.

​This was Union Hill Tennessee.
