History

Young America was platted about 1856.{{cite book | url=https://archive.org/details/combinationatlas00king | title=History of Cass County, Indiana | publisher=Kingman Bros. | author=Helm, Thomas B. | year=1878 | pages=[https://archive.org/details/combinationatlas00king/page/41 41]}} The town sprang up around a saw mill.
