Yorkville is/was a neighborhood on the Upper East Side of Manhattan----up around the East 70's up to maybe the east 85 to 90's..........it was never a City or Town on it's own, just a neighborhood in New York City, which was inhabited by many folks of German heritage back in the time period of the 1920's...........
