Yorkshire is an unincorporated community in Harrison County, in the U.S. state of Iowa. [1]
Yorkshire was founded with the arrival of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad. Yorkshire was platted in June 1872 by the railroad company and a store was built soon thereafter. [2] Yorkshire was the stop between Persia, Iowa, and Neola, Iowa. [3] The Yorkshire Post Office opened on November 3, 1885, [4] and a number of businesses soon followed.
Yorkshire's population was 25 in 1887, [5] 30 in 1902, [6] and 34 in 1925. [7]
On June 3, 1925, a tornado struck Yorkshire and nearby Persia. The damage was widespread in both communities, and in Yorkshire, the community "lost a depot, local store, church, schoolhouse and a number of residential homes." [2]
The Yorkshire Post Office closed on October 30, 1943. [4]
