When he grew the railroads of Havana and Matanzas, close to the establishment produced the convergence of railway lines himself, that did that the place begin to know oneself under the name of Unión in Reyes's point.
Thereby the denomination came from Reyes's Union. The aboriginal presence at this territory becomes evident at the southern zone that Zapata's Ciénaga Occidental borders, where the place of a burial of the Mesolithic demonstrates primitive inhabitants's presence.
