Union Cemetery Association articles of incorporation were submitted on May 15th of 1889. It is believed that the name "Union" came from the fact that all of several Swedish churches in the area came together to create the cemetery, thus creating a union. On October 2, 1889, the first person was laid to rest in Union Cemetery.
In the early 1900's Union Cemetery had its own bus that would pick up visitors from East Saint Paul, and bring them to the Cemetery. Union Cemetery started as a Swedish cemetery, however today we are the cemetery of the east side. For proof that we are a Swedish cemetery at our heart, there are over 1600 Johnson's buried in our cemetery, with 70 of those individuals being a John Johnson. Currently we have just under 27,000 interments in Union Cemetery.
