Some Facts About York County

York, Maine's southernmost county, is also its oldest. In fact, it is one of the oldest in the country, created in 1636 by a grant from King Charles I of England to sir Ferdinand Gorges. It was initially known as the Province of Lygonia, and later named Yorkshire County.

As defined in the charter of William and Mary in 1691, York County's boundaries run from the New Hampshire border to the south to the Kennebec and St. Croix rivers to the east. Many important historical documents are on file at the county seat in Alfred, including land transfers from King Charles I to Lord Pepperell, the designation of Fort McLary in Kittery Point, the papers of the last survivor of the Battle of Bunker Hill, and records on the lives of notable authors Sarah Orne Jewett, Kate Douglas Wiggin and Booth Tarkington.
