Yorkville, NY

Yorkville, NY: A Proud Village with Strong Roots and Support from Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys

Located in the southeastern corner of Whitestown and bordering the city of Utica, the village of Yorkville, NY, is a close-knit community with a rich industrial history and strong local identity. Though small in size—just 0.7 square miles—Yorkville has played a significant role in Oneida County’s development and continues to offer residents a comfortable, neighborly lifestyle. At Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, we are proud to serve the people of Yorkville from our nearby Utica office, helping clients navigate difficult times after accidents and injuries with experienced and compassionate legal support.

A Village Born from Industry

Yorkville was officially incorporated as a village in 1902, but its roots stretch back to the 19th century, when its earliest residents were workers from the booming textile mills in adjacent New York Mills. As a bedroom community for nearby industrial hubs, Yorkville thrived during America’s manufacturing golden age, with its population growing rapidly in the early 20th century. In fact, census records show that Yorkville’s population more than doubled from 1,512 in 1920 to 3,406 by 1930, a testament to the demand for workers and the strength of the village's economic foundation at that time.

Though industrial employment has declined over the years, Yorkville’s sense of identity remains deeply rooted in its working-class beginnings. A notable part of its industrial legacy is the Hyosung USA plant—originally built in 1908 and formerly operated by Goodyear and later Utica Converts—located on Whitesboro Street. The 240,000-square-foot facility was once a major employer in the area until its closure in 2013, marking the end of an era but also signifying Yorkville's shift toward a new economic chapter.

A Community Adapting to Change

Like many towns across upstate New York, Yorkville has evolved from a manufacturing-driven economy to one supported by the service, education, and healthcare sectors. Today, many residents find employment in nearby institutions like St. Luke's Memorial Hospital and Utica University, both located just a short drive away in Utica. These institutions not only offer stable employment but also reinforce Yorkville’s integration into the broader Mohawk Valley community.

Despite the economic transitions over the decades, Yorkville has managed to maintain its sense of community and pride. The village’s modest population—2,657 as of the 2020 census—gives it a small-town feel while still being connected to the greater Utica metro area. This combination of tight-knit community life and urban accessibility makes Yorkville a desirable place to live, work, and raise a family.

Demographics That Reflect Community Character

Yorkville's population is diverse in age and household composition. According to census data:

  • 33.5% of all households consist of individuals, with many older adults living independently.

  • 27.0% of households include children under 18, illustrating a strong presence of young families.

  • The median age in Yorkville is 39, suggesting a balanced mix of young adults, working professionals, and retirees.

While economic challenges exist—about 12.1% of the population lives below the poverty line—the community remains resilient. With a median household income of $33,490 and a family median income of $42,813, Yorkville exemplifies the perseverance and hard work of America's small-town residents.

Local Infrastructure and Accessibility

Yorkville is conveniently located just off major routes, making travel to and from the village easy for both residents and visitors. Its proximity to Utica, New York Mills, and New Hartford allows locals to take advantage of nearby shopping centers, healthcare facilities, schools, and cultural activities. Whether you're commuting to work or accessing local amenities, Yorkville's strategic location offers both convenience and connectivity.
