Union County was established in 1829 from Hempstead County and Clark County. The county seat began at Ecore Fabre and was moved to Scarborough's Landing. Cotton farmers again requested the county seat to move in 1843. It was moved to the county's highest point and was platted as El Dorado.[2]
The four-story courthouse has an entirely smooth limestone exterior with 40 freestanding ionic columns.[3]Scales of justice and lanterns adorn the exterior. Inside the courthouse is a two-story marble art deco atrium of marble and a courtroom with walnut wainscoting, a plaster ceiling featuring gilded rosettes and walls textured to resemble stone.
