At the center of Union Parish is spectacular Lake D’Arbonne where fishermen reel in catfish, bass, crappie and bream by the bucketful. Surrounding it are miles and miles of rolling land, most of it covered by thick pine forests and green pastures.
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 touts two primary industries---poultry and forest products---and is seeing a surge in retail growth, as well. 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 people of Union Parish are in the process of upgrading the public school system to better serve the needs of children, and thus improve our economic attractiveness for business and industry.
The Union Parish Chamber of Commerce aims to promote and encourage this robust economic growth and educational improvement. Come join us!
