Uniontown is a city in Bourbon County, Kansas, United States.

[3] A post office was established in 1856 about two miles east of the present town.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.22 square miles (0.57 km2), all of it land.

[6] The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters.

About 12.3% of families and 14.1% of the population were below the poverty line, including 14.5% of those under the age of eighteen and 9.7% of those 65 or over.

In 1999, four students at the local high school started the Life in a Jar project honoring Irena Sendler, a Polish humanitarian who rescued over 2500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II.

The project spread internationally and brought fame to a little-known story of heroism.
