History
Established as a village in 1910 with the arrival of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad, Young was planned to be a major centre, this can be seen in the wide streets and layout of the town, however this did not work out, and the village is now a local business centre for the nearby community with Co-op Grocery Store, Co-op Service Center, a Credit Union, and local services.[5]
A fire destroyed the village's oldest building, a former hotel, bar and popular meeting place for residents. The blaze at the Young Hotel started shortly before 3 a.m. on November 12, 2011. The hotel was built in 1910.[6]
