The farming community of Yorkville is located in the far eastern part of
the county near the Dyer County line. The town, long known for its
community involvement, has a tree-shaded park featuring a large
community center and several playing fields. The community center may be
rented for private functions by contacting city hall.
The town boasts one major industry, it is the home of the local
telephone exchange and it was the home of the late Congressman Ed Jones.
The much beloved congressman was known nationally for his local
involvement in such things as the Lower Mississippi Delta Commission.
Buildings, bridges and roads throughout the west Tennessee area have
been named in his honor and memory.
The town has a BLUE-RIBBON rated elementary / middle school that is part
of the Gibson County School System. (For more information on this
school, see the EDUCATION
section.)
Yorkville is also gaining popularity for its Washer Pitchin' Contest the
third week of August each year. For more information on this event, see
the ACTIVITIES & EVENTS section.
