The town of Yukon was originally founded by A.N. Spencer in 1891. The community was named for the Yukon River. During its first year of existence, Yukon featured 25 homes, a bank, two real estate offices, two restaurants, and a variety of other businesses. Around the turn of the 20th century, Yukon began attracting many immigrants from Bohemia, which eventually led to the city being known as the "Czech Capital of Oklahoma." Yukon was officially incorporated in 1901, and it began to thrive as an urban center for the area's farmers.
