Community Direction
The Town of Yorktown is a progressive and growing community in western Delaware County. The Town's formal history starts in 1913 when Yorktown was first recognized in the State of Indiana, but the community history is one of growth along the banks of Buck Creek and the White River. The first home subdivision in Yorktown was aptly named West Muncie, and today we continue to carve out a positive identity in East Central Indiana.
Yorktown has grown in a series of dramatic spurts. In the 1950s, the Town grew to the north and west, establishing itself on the north side of the White River. Then, in the late 1960s, it nearly doubled its population, extending east to Andrews Road. Less than 10 years later, it doubled again, this time by extending its borders east all the way to the western corporate limits of the City of Muncie.
In 2005 and 2006, the Town undertook two major voluntary annexations that extended its corporate limits north to State Road 332. In total, these two new annexation added more than 2,100 parcels, 3,500 acres, and 4,000 citizens to the Town of Yorktown.
In the past decade, more than a dozen new residential and three new commercial subdivisions have established themselves here. Through our state-of-the-art zoning and subdivision control ordinance, Yorktown is committed to careful, well planned growth, ever-improving municipal services, and strong fiscal responsibility.
