Yukon: Czech Heritage and the Childhood Home of Garth Brooks
Yukon was founded in 1891 along the Rock Island Railroad and named for the Yukon River, chosen by founders hoping to evoke the then-famous Klondike Gold Rush. The town grew around a community of Czech immigrants who established flour mills and farms in the surrounding wheat fields. The Yukon Czech Festival has run annually since 1966 and remains one of the largest ethnic heritage festivals in the state.
Country musician Garth Brooks grew up in Yukon and graduated from Yukon High School in 1980. The 1898 Yukon's Best Flour sign atop the Yukon Mill and Grain Company building has become a local landmark, visible from Route 66 as it passes through the city. Chisholm Trail Park marks the historic cattle drive route that passed through the area.
Yukon has transformed into a western suburb of Oklahoma City, with the population more than tripling since 1990. Highway 66 and I-40 both provide access to the OKC metropolitan core. The city retains its downtown Main Street with restored early-twentieth-century commercial buildings.
