Yukon’s Best Flour Mill, Yukon, OK” by Kristi Ellis – Own work. Licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0 via Commons
Yukon, Oklahoma is nowhere near as cold or relentless as the wild Yukon region in Northern Canada. However, it has a spirit of adventure and wonder all its own. For a small town in Oklahoma, Yukon has some big thrills and experiences.
Only a few minutes away from Oklahoma City, Yukon is often overshadowed by its much larger neighbor. However, this town has served as a hub for farmers in the area ever since its inception.
Yukon was established in 1891, and the end of the 19th century. The name was derived from Canada’s Yukon region, which was experiencing a massive gold rush at the time. While gold wasn’t abundant in the area, Yukon served as a prime stop for trains moving cross-country on railroads.
At the center of Yukon’s industry was a milling operation. The Yukon Mill and Grain Company grew flour to distribute all across the state of Oklahoma.
As the milling business expanded, more and more regional farmers began to move to Yukon. Soon, the town served as an urban center for these agricultural workers.
Farmers weren’t the only ones to move to Yukon. After World War I, an exodus of immigrants from Czechoslovakia headed to Yukon. Soon, the town became known as the Czech capital of Oklahoma.
Both Edmond, Oklahoma and Yukon, Oklahoma made the top 3 in the “These are the 15 Best Places to Live in Oklahoma.”
Some famous residents have also grown up in Yukon. Country music legend Garth Brooks called Yukon his boyhood home. Dallas Cowboys kicker Dan Baily also hails from Yukon.
With adventure and history around every street corner, the town of Yukon, Oklahoma is an often forgotten gem that is not to be missed!
