Yougeen is an unincorporated community in Bee County, in the U.S. state of Texas. It is located within the Beeville micropolitan area.
Originally, the land was granted to the McMullen-McGloin colony. Eugenia McGloin gave 5acres for a railroad station that she named Yougeen in 1911. There was a railroad switch and a fun house in the community in 1939. There were two stores there as late as the middle of the 1960s. Since then, the majority of the locals have migrated away; in 2000, there were only a few scattered houses still standing.
Yougeen is located on U.S. Highway 181, 6miles south of Beeville in south-central Bee County.
Yougeen had its own school in 1939.[1] Today, the community is served by the Skidmore-Tynan Independent School District.
