Established as Washington, DC corporation in 1914

In 1914, Union Hardware was an old fashion hardware store serving DC residence.  The name was inspired by the growing strength of the labor unions.  Abraham and Jennie Goldberg, who opened Union Hardware in 1914, realized that aligning the business with the union workforce would help keep business growing through troubled economic times.

In 1954 Charles Goldberg (their son) expanded this hammers and nails hardware store to include a small selection of decorative plumbing and hardware products.  The demand for these products grew so fast that it wasn't long before the decorative product took over the adjacent building.  In 1970, a bold risk was taken to move from the city to the "outskirts" of Bethesda, MD.  In 1991, Union Hardware added a showroom in Falls Church, VA.

Grandsons, David and Barry, also serve as Vice Presidents of the company to make Union Hardware a third generation family owned and operated business.
