Union Cross is a small place in southeastern Forsyth County, North Carolina, United States. It is called an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that is not officially a town or city with its own local government.
Some parts of Union Cross have been added to nearby cities like Kernersville and Winston-Salem. This happened because the area has grown a lot, especially after a big Dell computer factory was built there. Union Cross is also home to Union Cross Traditional Academy and Glenn High School.
