History
The cemetery there (still extant) was established around 1861; it is the oldest in the town of Clayton. In 1870 there was a schoolhouse there, which was used for services by a newly organized congregation of the Disciples of Christ.
William Henry Evans, a farmer, lawyer, and member of the Wisconsin State Assembly, lived in Yankeetown.
The Yankeetown post office ceased to be listed in the Wisconsin Blue Book as of the 1883 edition.
