Yonkers, Georgia
Yonker is an unincorporated community in Dodge County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1]
History
The community's name may be a transfer from Yonkers, New York.[2] A variant name was "Younker".[1] A post office called Younker was established in 1890, and remained in operation until 1937.[3]
The Georgia General Assembly incorporated the place as the "Town of Younker" in 1906.[4] The town's municipal charter was repealed in 1909.[5]
