Youngs Creek is an unincorporated community in Greenfield Township, Orange County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.[1]

History

The community's original name was Unionville.[2] Unionville was founded in about 1864, and was renamed Youngs Creek after a nearby stream of the same name when the post office was established.[3] A post office was established at Youngs Creek in 1867, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1976.[4]
