Youngtown History

Real estate broker, Ben Schleifer and banker, Clarence Suggs came together to create Youngtown in 1954. These men decided to purchase 320 acres of farmland and create a retirement community. They also enlisted Elmer Johns, who was a pioneer in the idea of retirement living to help develop Youngtown.

Soon, the town became a self contained community with a man made lake, recreational hall, medical facilities, and shopping. As a matter of fact, Youngtown became the first master planned retirement community in the nation. It was also the first community to impose age restrictions. However, those restrictions were lifted in 1998.

Today, all ages are allowed to live in town. Even so, the history of the town remains with nearly one-third of the population is of retirement age.
