A post office called Yale was established in 1883, and remained in operation until 1903.[2] The community most likely was named after Yale University, according to local history.[3] Besides the post office, Yale had a sawmill. Yale was also the childhood home of famous actor Clark Gable.[4] His father and step mother are buried in Palmyra Cemetery. A large amount of money was donated to the township to keep this cemetery and graves tended for time immemorial.
