Yougeen is an unincorporated community in Bee County, in the U.S. state of Texas. It is located within the Beeville micropolitan area.
History
Originally, the land was granted to the McMullen-McGloin colony. Eugenia McGloin gave 5 acres (2.0 ha) 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, 6 mi (9.7 km) south of Beeville in south-central Bee County.
Education
Yougeen had its own school in 1939. Today, the community is served by the Skidmore-Tynan Independent School District.
