About Yorktown

A small town on the old Indianola Trail

Yorktown was laid out in 1848 by Captain John York and Charles Eckhardt on the road Eckhardt had surveyed from the port of Indianola to New Braunfels, and it was incorporated in 1871. The town counts 1,810 residents (2020 Census), and the town’s own history page calls it the oldest incorporated city in DeWitt County.

Water, utilities and permits go through City Hall at 102 W. Main, and Yorktown ISD serves the town. Past the town limits, DeWitt County issues the floodplain and septic permits, so ask what a country property uses for water and sewer.
