Centennial History of Belmont County, Ohio, and Representative Citizens., published 1903 names this settlement in its chapter on Wheeling Township. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 14 fires within 5 miles of Uniontown between 2003 and 2020, burning about 36 acres in total. None started naturally. None was recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Donnersville
• Lafferty
• Bannock
• Oco
• Blainesville
• Crabapple

Every fire recorded in Belmont County

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 117 specimens collected within 10 miles of Uniontown between 1877 and 1974: 98 Animalia, 12 Plantae, 7 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Goff, CL & LC Hubbs, Collector(s): Jim L. Hayward; Preparator(s): Jim L. Hayward and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
