Yukon is a city in Canadian County, Oklahoma, United States and is part of the Oklah
oma City Metropolitan Area. The population was 21,043 at the 2000 census.
It all started in 1891 with about 25 residents and A.N. Spencer, a cattlemen from Texas, who started building a railroad from El Reno to Arkansas. With help of his brothers they begun building a new town - Yukon. The biggest growth came from the Yukon Mill and Grain Company owned by Czech families - Kroutils and Dobrys. Yukon incorporated in 1910.
Yukon is the hometown of country singer Garth Brooks, actor Dale Robertson, 2001 Miss Oklahoma USA Cortney Phillips, the red dirt band Cross Canadian Ragweed and Hall of Fame Coach Ivan Wootton. In 1949, Yukon garnered national media attention because of the plight of Grady the Cow.
The Czech Hall, a national and state historic site, is devoted to preserving Czech customs, heritage, and culture. Community events include the Czech Festival in October, and the Chisholm Trail Festival in June. Yukon's sister city is Krnov in the Czech Republic.
