Union County is a county in the U.S. state of South Dakota. As of the 2010 United States Census, the population was 14,399.[1] Its county seat is Elk Point.[2] Originally named Cole County, its name was changed to Union because of Civil War sentiment.

Union County is part of the Sioux City, IA–NE–SD Metropolitan Statistical Area. Progressive Farmer rated Union County second in the "2006 Best Place to Live Survey" in the U.S., because "its schools are good, its towns neat and its people friendly."
