Welcome to the Union Parish Chamber of Commerce website. As you browse this site, we hope you will learn more about our homeplace---a very large and lovely parish (county) in North-Central Louisiana.

Surrounding it are miles and miles of rolling land, most of it covered by thick pine forests and green pastures. Beautiful summer weather is drawing scores of nature-lovers to the lake and the Five Scenic Waterways: Bayou d'Loutre, Corney Creek Bayou, Little Fork D'Arbonne, Bayou D'Arbonne, and the Ouachita River. A number of communities are population focal points: Farmerville (the parish seat), Marion, Bernice, Spearsville, Junction City, Downsville, Lillie, Linville, and Rocky Branch. Union Parish’s past is one of rough-hewn rural life focused on harvesting timber, cotton, corn and beans. Today Union Parish looks much different: its myriad enterprises include poultry growing and processing, health care, retail businesses, restaurants, petroleum pipeline construction, and timber processing and transport. As a Louisiana Certified Retirement Community, the parish also is quickly becoming home to more and more retirees, who are drawn to the shores of beautiful Lake D’Arbonne…and to the relaxed lifestyle in this corner of the South. The Union Parish Chamber of Commerce aims to promote and encourage this robust economic growth. Come join us!
