Yorktown is the 'Diamond of Delaware County'
Cradled by the White River and Buck Creek, Yorktown offers a respite from the bustle of nearby Muncie. The town has a population of about 11,000, more than doubled since 2000. And over a dozen residential and three commercial subdivisions have opened in Yorktown in the past 10 years. "We're kind of a suburb of Muncie, so a lot of people work in Muncie and live in Yorktown," says Erin Hurley, assistant town manager and resident of 32 years. "We consider ourselves the 'Diamond of Delaware County.' If you live in Delaware County, you want to live in Yorktown. We've got the best schools, we've got the best streets ... We're really focused on quality of life, and we've got a great parks system."
Downtown Yorktown is small and easily walkable.
Yorktown sits on the banks of the White River.

Indianapolis and Fort Wayne are accessible via I-69
Proximity to Interstate 69 has contributed to Yorktown's growth as a bedroom community for workers in nearby metros like Muncie and Indianapolis. Yorktown is roughly halfway between Indianapolis and Fort Wayne, both accessible via I-69. Many residents work in Indianapolis, 56 miles away, and Fort Wayne is 76 miles north. State Route 32 crosses directly through the downtown area. It sees more than 5,000 vehicles daily and leads to Muncie, 5 miles away. The closest hospital is IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie. For air travel, residents go to Indianapolis Airport or Fort Wayne International Airport, both about 70 miles away.

Locals connect with nature at Morrow's Meadow and watch concerts at Civic Green Plaza
Yorktown maintains more than 100 acres of public parks and 10 miles of trails and sidewalks. Morrow's Meadow is the most popular green space in the heart of the community. The park has playgrounds, a large open field, and a paved walking trail next to the White River and Buck Creek. Yorktown Sports Park has plenty of sports fields and is the home of Munciana Volleyball, the longest-running volleyball club in America. The Players Club at Woodland Trails and Muncie Elks Golf Club are within 3 miles of town. Locals also head to Muncie for recreation and entertainment, such as Ball State football games at Scheumann Stadium or visiting Minnetrista Museum and Gardens. Locals look forward to a slate of events throughout the year. Many take place at the Civic Green Plaza, a downtown common area with a small amphitheater, a splash pad and greenspace. It's the site of Concerts on the Green, an annual summer concert series, and the seasonal Yorktown Farm and Artisan Market in the summer and early fall. The Fourth of July is another big event for the town. The celebration starts early with a 4-mile race in the morning, followed by food trucks, beer and live music — the night caps off with a fireworks display at Morrow's Meadow after dusk.
A popular local spot for walking is Morrow's Meadow in Yorktown, IN.

Locals want more businesses downtown
Although many residents work in Muncie and Indianapolis, about 3,000 people travel to Yorktown daily for work. The biggest industries are health care, manufacturing, education and retail. Officials are working toward making Downtown Yorktown a hub for commerce. Residents have said they'd like a grocery or specialty food store, additional restaurants, clothing stores and recreational shops. One of the most recent additions is The Oliver, a $6 million multi-use development. "The Oliver has retail on the first floor and apartments up above it. It's full with a waiting list — they were full before they ever opened," Hurley says. "So part of the town's focus is getting more people to live downtown to get the density here so that we'll have more shops, retail and restaurants that want to open."

Four Day Ray Brewing is a local favorite
Yorktown has a handful of restaurants downtown. One of the newest additions is Four Day Ray Brewing on the first floor of The Oliver. The brewpub serves award-winning beers, pizza and elevated bar fare. No grocery stores are in town, so residents head to Muncie, the closest hub for retail shopping and nightlife. The city has Muncie Mall, and the downtown area has bars, restaurants and locally owned businesses. One Muncie-Yorktown institution is Lowery's Home Made Candies, which has been doling out candy by the pound since 1941.
