Travel Back in Time to Yuba

In the 2017, Yuba, Wisconsin, just 0.30 square miles, was home to 59 people. The village was platted in 1856 for Edward Pinick, but the first business wasn’t opened until 1875 — in true Wisconsin fashion, it was a saloon. Images from Richland County History Room and Brewer Public Library.
