[3] With the construction of the railroad, business activity shifted away from inland Yellowbud, and the town's population dwindled. [2] A post office called Yellow Bud was established in 1846, the name was changed to Yellowbud in 1895, and the post office closed in 1903. [4] The community takes its name from Yellowbud Creek. [5]
