==History==
The area was first settled in the mid-18th century and became a part of Albemarle County in 1761. The village was originally referred to as Nicksville after a free slave blacksmith named Nick, who opened a blacksmith's shop there in the early 19th century. When a post office was established in 1847, it was given the name of Free Union to avoid confusion with Nixville, another post office in the county.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://freeunion.com/history.html )〕 The name was taken from that of the Free Union Church, which had been built in 1837 and is still operating as the Free Union Baptist Church. The church was "free" in that all races were welcome to worship there, and it was a "union" of four denominations of Christianity, none of which could have afforded a church of their own at that time.〔 Free Union continued to be known as Nixville until the early 20th century, when the post office's name caught on.
The Ballard-Maupin House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
