The party was established in 1932 as a merger of the ruling Farmers' Assemblies party and the Settlers' Party, [1] with the two parties holding a combined 38 seats in the Riigikogu.

In 1933 it suffered a major split when the large conservative faction of the Farmers' Assemblies left the Union to re-establish their party. [3]
