A bit of York's history

Named after the city of York in England, the area was settled in the 1830s by farmers focusing on sheep and wheat. A township began forming in 1835-36 when an army barracks and store were built. By the late 1880s, the town was filled with miners and fossickers heading to the goldfields. Most of the town's impressive buildings were constructed between 1886 and 1900.
