The county history of 1883 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 13 fires within 5 miles of Yost between 2007 and 2020, burning about 16 acres in total. None started naturally. None was recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Glenford
• Chalfants
• Glass Rock
• Walser
• Bruno
• Mount Perry

Every fire recorded in Perry County

Museums hold 122 specimens collected within 10 miles of Yost between 1900 and 1973: 108 Animalia, 8 Plantae, 6 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Auten, Breakey, David H. Stansbery and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

The federal mineral resources record lists 2 workings within 5 miles of Yost: 1 producer, 1 plant. All of them still produce. What was taken out: Stone, Crushed/Broken. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.
