Uniontown was platted in 1816. [5] Two stagecoach lines which met near the original town site caused the name "Union" to be selected. [6] By the 1830s, Uniontown had a church, schoolhouse, tannery, tavern, and two stores. [7] A post office called Uniontown has been in operation since 1920. [8]
A pit from prior sand and gravel mining was turned into a landfill in 1966, the so called Industrial Excess Landfill (IEL), which accepted solid and liquid waste of Akron's rubber industry as well as black shale and coal ash, military waste, and various other industrial wastes including plutonium, according to former landfill owner Charles Kittinger. The 30 acre landfill closed in 1980 and left soil and groundwater contamination behind, with recurring plumes of toxic vapors for years to come. [9] In 1983, concerned citizens raised the issue of health effects from IEL's contamination. [10] EPA listed IEL as a Superfund site in 1984. They determined that a toxic plume moved in a radial pattern away from the site in all directions. A soil vapor intrusion control system was installed in areas where residents could not be evacuated. In 1989, EPA hired Tetra Tech to conduct cleanup efforts. [10] In 2004, EPA considering the clean-up finished and shut down monitoring wells. [9]
