Young began with the arrival of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. It incorporated as a village on June 7, 1910, and took its name from F.G. Young, a land agent. The Young Hotel was built that same year.
Early on, a limestone kiln at the northwest end of 2 Avenue turned out 1,000 bushels of lime a day. Today the village sits in the Rural Municipality of Morris No. 312, and its economy rests mainly on local agriculture and the nearby Mosaic Potash mine.
Young has a three-sheet curling rink with artificial ice, a hockey arena, a swimming pool, a golf course, ball diamonds and a playground. On November 12, 2011, a fire destroyed the old Young Hotel, which had been the village's oldest building.
