Unión is a barrio (neighbourhood or district) of Montevideo, Uruguay. It shares borders with Mercado Modelo and Villa Española to the northwest, Maroñas to the northeast, Malvín Norte to the east, Buceo and Parque Batlle to the south and La Blanqueada and Larrañaga to the southwest.
Its history started in 1845, during General Oribe's siege of Montevideo, which at the time was little more than the actual Ciudad Vieja, by the creation of the Tribunal of Unión in the area. In 1849, Oribe founded the Villa de la Restauración, which in 1851, after the end of the civil war, was renamed to Unión.
