The Story of Yellow Bank

Yellow Bank got its name from a nearby stream called Yellow Bank Creek. This creek was an important feature of the area.

Long ago, in the year 1812, a special building called a mill was built right where Yellow Bank Creek flows into another body of water. Mills were very important in the early days of settlements. They used the power of the flowing water to grind grains like corn and wheat into flour, which people used to make bread and other foods. This mill helped the early settlers in the Yellow Bank area.
