About Yukon, Oklahoma: A Taste of the Old Country on the Mother Road
Yukon is located along the historic 1926–1985 alignment of Route 66 in Canadian County, with the route following both Historic Route 66 and OK-66. Established in 1891 and named after Canada's Yukon Territory, the town first flourished as a bustling agricultural center before the highway brought a steady stream of Route 66 travelers.
Yukon is proudly known as the "Czech Capital of Oklahoma," a title earned due to the significant influx of Czech immigrants in the early 20th century. Their vibrant traditions are celebrated annually at the Oklahoma Czech Festival, where visitors can enjoy authentic kolaches, lively polka dancing, and cultural displays that draw crowds from across the region. This rich heritage gives Yukon a distinct flavor on the Mother Road.
Route 66 travelers are greeted by the towering, glowing Yukon's Best Flour sign, a spectacular 1940s neon icon that has become one of the most photographed and recognizable landmarks on the highway. Additionally, Chisholm Trail Park commemorates the historic cattle drives that once passed through the area, adding another layer to the town's diverse history.
With its proximity to attractions in nearby El Reno and annual events like the popular Yukon Route 66 Rock the Route Festival, supported by the Oklahoma Route 66 Association, Yukon continues to blend its unique Czech heritage, small-town hospitality, and highway history in true Mother Road style.
