Relaxing and Comfortable Get-Away
No description of Yankeetown would be complete without a mention of its most famous visitor—Elvis Presley. In 1962, Mr. Presley was in a movie called, “Follow That Dream.” Filming took place on site in Inverness, Inglis and Yankeetown, and the main set was on a piece of then undeveloped land located where State Road 40 crosses Bird Creek. After filming was completed, local residents renamed the portion of SR 40 from US19 to the Gulf of Mexico “Follow That Dream Parkway.”
History of Yankeetown
Adventures That Await You
Yankeetown was founded in 1923 by an Indiana businessman named A.F. Knotts, who had come to Florida and settled along the coast just west of Inglis. He called the area Yankeetown, allegedly because a mail carrier had used the term to contrast it with nearby Inglis, which was referred to by locals as “Crackertown.” Knotts promoted Yankeetown as a fishing resort for wealthy norther sport fishermen, but during the Great Depression, local residents discovered that they could make a decent living by commercial fishing, crabbing and shrimping. Still today, Yankeetown remains a quaint fishing village.
