Yorktown grows on a path to bigger progress and pride
J. D. Boone leads as superintendent while Floyd Ladner chairs the board as Yorktown earns Central Power and Light Company honors in population and sweepstakes. Officials tout a 1960 to 1964 population rise from 2750 to just over 3000, with plans for highway improvements, light industry in textiles, and a dam project on Coleto Creek creating a small lake. The No 2 Cuero Lake project would place Yorktown about 11 to 12 miles from the new lake. The downtown shows few empty buildings, with ambitions to remodel the old C B Eckhardt & Sons building into a community library and museum honoring pioneers Johns York and Charles Eckhardt, and to expand the Yorktown Memorial Hospital funded by the community and run by the Felician Sisters. The town is optimistic about a new administration building for schools and the water tower, key to development.
