Yuba is a small unincorporated community in the Lower Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan.[1] Yuba is a part of Grand Traverse County, and is located in Acme Township along U.S. Highway 31. Yuba rests on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan's Grand Traverse Bay.
Yuba was first settled in by David R. Curtis in 1852. A post office was open in Yuba from 1865 to 1904.[2] The nearby village of Fife Lake was named for William H. Fife, the first postmaster at Yuba.[3]
Yuba lies on the shore of the East Arm off Grand Traverse Bay, a bay of Lake Michigan. The town lies about 4.4miles northwest of Williamsburg, about 4.8miles south of Elk Rapids, and about 7.4miles northeast of Traverse City. US Highway 31 runs directly through Yuba, and can be used to access Elk Rapids and Traverse City.
