History

The community started as a part of the McMullen-McGloin colony. Eugenia McGloin donated 5 acres (2.0 ha) of land for a railroad station that she named Yougeen in 1911. A railroad switch and an amusement house were located in the community in 1939. There were two stores in the mid-1960s. Most of its residents moved away and only several scattered houses remained in the community in 2000.[2]
