Named after York, England, the city of York, Pennsylvania, was a key part of our nation's founding. The city was the place where "The United States of America" was first uttered and where the Articles of Confederation were drafted. Experience the wonders of theater, movies, and music; stroll through a factory, explore the world of art at galleries; learn something new at libraries and museums; take in the peace and quiet of parks; play sports and games; and much more—the city has it all.
