Snyder county is now forty-two
years old ; Union county was forty
two years old when a division of its
territory took place, hence it is
eighty-four years since the portion
now called Union and Snyder coun
ties were severed from Northum
berland. The latter was forty years
in existence before that portion of it
lying west of the Susquehanna was
named Union county.
