The roots of Yokine trace back to its origin as part of T. R. C. Walters’ land grant in 1840. However, development in its early days remained sparse. The area’s transformation began when Western Australian Golf Limited took ownership around 1927 and strategically subdivided a small portion of land near the golf course. Before World War II, a single house stood at the eastern end of Royal Street, marking the modest beginnings. However, the post-war era heralded a housing boom, and by the early 1950s, Yokine’s landscape around the golf course had undergone a remarkable transformation. As the southern section also flourished in the 1960s, Yokine evolved rapidly into a well-established neighborhood, with its story of growth and community spirit spanning decades.
