Union Township was first laid out as the town of Randall, but afterward
changed to Union.  It has thirty-four square miles, a little less than a
regular township, with a population in 1910 of 1,090.  It is bounded on 
the north by Chippewa county, on the south by the town of Brunswick (the
Chippewa river dividing the two towns), on the east by the city of Eau
Claire and on the west by Dunn County.  Truax is a station on the Chicago,
St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railway four and one-half miles northwest of
Eau Claire.  The Eau Claire county poor farm and asylum is located in this
town, which contains many fine farms and farm buildings.
