Union Springs takes its name from the 27 springs that watered the land. White settlers arrived after the removal of the Creek in the 1830s, and the town was incorporated on January 13, 1844. When Bullock County was formed in 1866, voters chose Union Springs as the county seat. The Bullock County Courthouse, built in 1871, is the only Second Empire-style courthouse in Alabama and the centerpiece of a historic district of 47 buildings, most built between the 1860s and 1910, when the town became the county's political, commercial and social center.
Nearby on Chunnenuggee Ridge, from the Creek name "Tcha-Na-Naghi," "long, high ridge," the Chunnenuggee Ridge Horticultural Society was organized on March 6, 1847, and laid out a five-acre public garden that year on land deeded for $1 by Dr. Norborne Berkley Powell. It claims to be the oldest continuously existing garden club in the nation, and its May Fair drew visitors from across the South from 1848 until the Civil War. Powell's Greek Revival home, completed in 1844, is known for a window pane on which lightning is said to have imprinted his likeness, an event novelist Augusta Evans Wilson used in At the Mercy of Tiberius. The Bullock County Historical Society revived the fair in Union Springs in 1980.
