Founded in 1891 by the Spencer Brothers, Yukon sits on the former Chisholm Trail that once connected the Texas pastures to the railroad terminal in Abilene, Kansas.

The town was named after the Canadian territory of the same name, where the gold rush was in full swing at the time the town was founded. In 1949, the place received a great deal of media attention after the cow Grady trapped itself in a silo and could not get out through the narrow door. The door could not be extended as the silo was made of steel and it was too valuable to knock down. Finally the door was prepared with oils and the cow pulled out.

Today, Yukon is primarily a residential city with easy commuting to Oklahoma City.
