A variant name was "Yatesville".[1] A post office called Yatesville was established in 1879, the name was changed to Yates in 1882, and the post office closed in 1954.[2] The community has the name of George Yates, the original owner of the town site.[3]

gollark: My problem isn't *that* (5G apparently has improvements for more normal frequencies anyway), but that higher bandwidth and lower latency just... isn't that useful and worth the large amount of money for most phone users.
gollark: Personally I think 5G is pointless and overhyped, but eh.
gollark: It's a house using some sort of sci-fi-looking engines to take off, superimposed on the text "5G", with "London," and "is in the house." above and below it respectively.
gollark: Well, computer viruses can.
