Yale, KS

Yale is a quiet, close-knit rural hamlet in Crawford County, Kansas, with fewer than a hundred residents. It started in the late 1880s as a coal mining settlement and grew into a lively hub with its own stores, schools, and homes, welcoming African American miners around the turn of the century who settled here permanently. Today, Yale offers a peaceful country lifestyle surrounded by open fields, while still keeping you within an easy drive of Pittsburg for shopping and everyday necessities.
