A Look Back: Uniontown's History
Uniontown has a simple but interesting history. One important part of its past involves its post office.
In 1890, a post office was moved to Uniontown from a nearby place called Fosters Ridge. A post office is where people send and receive mail. It was a very important place for communities before the internet and email.
This post office served the people of Uniontown for many years. It stayed open until 1974, when it finally closed down.
