History
editOriginally, the land was granted to the McMullen-McGloin colony. Eugenia McGloin gave 5 acres (2.0 ha) for a railroad station that she named Yougeen in 1911. There was a railroad switch and a fun house in the community in 1939. There were two stores there as late as the middle of the 1960s. Since then, the majority of the locals have migrated away; in 2000, there were only a few scattered houses still standing.[2]
