Yimyu is one of the 15 wards that make up
Mokokchung town in
India. It is an extensive area and forms the northwestern part of Mokokchung. Until 2003, Yimyu was a separate town and not under Mokokchung Municipal Council. However the last two decades has seen the gradual expansion of the settlements of both Yimyu and Mokokchung and had become a continuous settlement area. In 2003, Yimyu was formally incorporated as part of Mokokchung town. The
Mariani-Mokokchung
Highway passes through this ward. Mokokchung District Jail and DIET College are located here.
