Village of Yorkville

Village of Yorkville The Village of Yorkville, located in Racine County, is a rural community in Southeastern Wisconsin with a population of 3087.

The Town of Yorkville was settled mostly by farmers immigrating from Cornwall, England. In 1846, the Town was incorporated with 36 sections with borders of Two Mile Road, I-94, County Line Road, and Raynor Avenue. By 1893, the area known as Union Grove filed for incorporation and left the Town. The Town is home to the Racine County fair held in July each year. It is also home to the Modine-Benstea

d Observatory on the corner of Highway A and 63rd Drive. The Ives Grove Golf Links just west of I-94 on Highway 20 is a 27-hole link-style course. Grandview Business Park is located in the Town. It is a 180-acre development adjacent to Interstate 94 that overlooks the well-manicured expanse of Ives Grove Golf Links. Grandview capitalizes on the area's natural amenities, and features sites from three to 50 acres that are ideal for distribution, assembly, manufacturing, and research and development facilities. With downtown Racine about 25 minutes away; Milwaukee, 37 minutes; and Chicago, 82 minutes, we are within easy driving distance of shopping, entertainment, recreation, and cultural events.
