York County, located just
west of the Susquehanna River, is comprised of rolling hills, farms, suburban
development, small towns and the city of
York - the county seat.
Many historic milestones have been created on its soil including the approval of the Articles of Confederation in 1777, marking the first time the 13 colonies joined together as the United States of America. York's 339,600 residents enjoy several major shopping malls and retail outlets including the West Manchester Mall, York Galleria Mall, North Hanover Mall and The Gettysburg Factory Outlets. With 10 county parks including John Rudy, Rocky Ridge, William Kain, Nixon, Apollo, Spring Valley, Raab, Wallace-Cross Mills and the Heritage Rail Trail that extends into Northern Maryland, 18 golf courses and Ski Roundtop, York County boasts a number of year-round outdoor activities. Visit Rocky Ridge during the holidays and enjoy their presentation of 200,000+ lights during Christmas Magic, "A Festival of Lights." Deemed the "Factory Tour Capital of the World," York County is home to York Barbell Company, Harley-Davidson, Pfaltzgraff and the York Peppermint Patty. York County has a rich manufacturing heritage that includes more than 13 factories. In addition to a rich manufacturing history, York County is also a cultural mecca.
