The UCHS marks its 145th anniversary with Medal of Honor history, civic leadership, railroad heritage, and the return of spring in Elizabeth.
Student awards, Elizabeth history highlights, Independence Day details, and a look back at Roselle’s Tiernan Building on Chestnut Street.
UCHS marks 146 years with an anniversary dinner, explores Lincoln assassination history, and honors longtime member Dick Koles.
Civil War songs, winter storms, War of 1812 notes, a tribute to Dr. Fridlington, and Roselle’s early outdoor movie screenings.
Issue 133 covers the Hanson House picnic, the “missing sounds” of earlier decades, and the Irvington Avenue Reservoir’s surprising history.
Issue 130 covers the anniversary dinner, a deep dive into Union County bandits, Washington-era leadership lessons, and Elizabeth’s 1938 “Own Your Home” house.

From Washington’s precedents to Ursino Lake’s lost “reservoir,” Issue 129 blends UCHS updates with Union County stories.
Holiday reflections, Society updates, Edison’s phonograph, and the Blizzard of ’88—Issue 128 captures history close to home.
