From 1857 to 1935, it was known as Unger's Store until March 31, 1950 its name was then shortened to Unger on April 1, 1950 .

Unger is located at the crossroads of Winchester Grade Road and Unger's Store Road.
As of 2008 or earlier, the post office at Unger has been closed. Unger does, however, boast The Farnham Colossi at Unger:

On the ground, the road is marked Unger's Store Road eastbound, intersecting with Timber Ridge Road at a large oak tree. However, GPS systems and internet mapping sites often call what is locally known and posted as Unger's Store Road "Blue Rock" or "Blue Roack" road. There are no signs on the ground with these designations.
