History

Uniontown was first settled in 1867 by Thomas Freeborn Montgomery, who had travelled west in order to escape the violence of the American Civil War in 1863.[6] Montgomery filed for a homestead claim in 1874, and obtained a post office for Uniontown in 1878. Agreement could not be reached on a town name until the following year, when Joseph Cataldo, a Jesuit priest and missionary, suggested the name "Uniontown" after the similarly-named creek and flat nearby.[7] Montgomery had a difficult personality, which led to numerous conflicts with Uniontown businessmen. As a result, several of these businesses relocated three miles north to the neighboring rival town of Colton. Despite this, Montgomery remained active in the real estate industry in Uniontown until his passing in 1883, which was allegedly the result of a dispute that turned deadly on December 8 of that year. Uniontown was incorporated in 1890.

Churches

Saint Boniface Catholic Church

Saint Boniface Church, Convent & Rectory

The vast majority of the early settlers of Uniontown were primarily Swiss and German immigrants who practiced Roman Catholicism. The first Catholic Church in Uniontown was built out of wood in 1879, the same year that Uniontown was officially founded. Father Anton Joehren, the local Catholic priest, played a constructive role in the early history of Uniontown, although like founder Thomas Montgomery, Joehren’s difficult nature often led to disputes. In 1888, he began plans to construct a grand brick and stone church, but construction ceased in 1893 when a dispute arose between the priest and some parishioners, resulting in only a foundation being laid. Friction with Fr. Joehren also led to the Benedictine Sisters relocating from Uniontown to Colton in 1894 and ultimately establishing the St. Gertrude Monastery in Cottonwood, Idaho in 1906. Following Fr. Joehren's removal, a new priest oversaw the congregation's construction of the current church, St. Boniface Church, which was completed in the spring of 1905, and consecrated in 1910, making it the first to be consecrated in the state of Washington. The church was designed by Herman Preusse and Julius Zittel and is built out of bricks in the Romanesque style, with two towers flanking the façade, and a front gable topped by a seven-foot statue of the Blessed Mother. The church retains much of its original pre-Vatican II appearance, including original stained-glass windows, altar rails, numerous statues, five altars, and numerous frescos. The church has resisted all attempts and proposals to modernize the interior and has insisted on keeping it as is, the only allowed noticeable change being the installment of an altar to celebrate the Novus Ordo facing the people.

Uniontown Community Church

There is also a small, non-denominational Christian, protestant church that is maintained by its congregants.

Law Enforcement

Uniontown maintains a Part-Time Chief of Police position to provide law enforcement services. When the Chief is off duty or otherwise not available, Whitman County Sheriff's Office handles calls for service and law enforcement in the town. The current Chief is also a full-time police officer in nearby Pullman, WA. In the last decade the former chiefs/officers have all been Moscow Police Department officers looking for additional part-time work with the exception of one officer in 2008–2010, thus bringing experienced officers to the town.
