About York

York is the county seat of York County, a south-central Pennsylvania city with a deep manufacturing and historic-district legacy. It was known as Yorktown in the 18th and early 19th centuries, and today includes several national historic districts, including Fairmount, Northwest York, Springdale, and York Historic Districts. Cultural institutions such as DreamWrights Center for Community Arts add to the city's civic life. York feels like an old Pennsylvania industrial city still working through reinvention.
