FROM THE ARCHIVES:
Union City - City Halls //// When Union City incorporated in 1959, there was no City Hall. The City Council was meeting at Barnard Elementary School, but someplace was needed for the City Administrator to work. It was decided that the first City Hall would be the Alvarado Firehouse, located at 3841 Smith St. The City Administrator and two other City employees performed the daily business of the City from the Firehouse. Given the small size of the Firehouse, it did not take long for the City staff to grow too big for the Firehouse. The City Hall was then moved to 309 H. St (at the corner of 4th St.) in Decoto, and the story continues from there... CLICK HERE
