History

The village is south of the current village of Cayuga and north of the former Cayuga Nation village of Gwau-gwah (Cayuga Castle), which became a Jesuit mission. The native village was a target of the Sullivan Expedition of 1779. After the war, a reservation was established for the Cayuga who returned, but they gave up their land rights before 1800. The village was incorporated in 1848.

Mineral springs near the village made the village an important health spa.

In 2023 the mayor of Union Springs was Bud Shattuck. His term expired in March 2023. [3] Robert Thurston Jr. ran unopposed for a two-year term, [4] and was elected in March that year. [5]

Union Springs is the location of Union Springs Academy - a Seventh-day Adventist boarding school.

The Peter Yawger House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. [6] The Almeron Durkee House, Charles Howland-William H. Chase House, and William Richardson House were listed in 2005. [6]

In 1859, nearly one third of the island was removed for use as an embankment for the nearby New York Central Railroad along the east shore of the lake without regard for artifacts. In the mid-20th Century, the island was scientifically excavated for study and display by the Rochester Museum of Arts and Sciences. [8]
