In 1940 Yenda had two clothing stores, two bakers, two butchers, two grocery stores, two barbers, one newsagency, one pharmacy, one cinema, one Greek restaurant and one bank but residents now do their shopping in nearby Griffith. At the, Yenda had a population of 1,503.The area forming part of Yenda is well covered by vineyards, which produce close to 70% of the wine for New South Wales. Rice paddies fed by the irrigation system also frequent the area as do stone and citrus fruit orchards, market gardens producing vegetables, and poultry farms.Nearby is the 8360ha Cocoparra National Park, containing waterfalls, gorges and bush walks and providing a home to over 150 species of birds.The Yenda railway station, opened in 1916, lies on the Temora–Roto railway line and is now closed. Yenda Post Office opened somewhat later on 1 July 1919.
