COUNTY FORMATION

York County was established in 1639. The first known and recorded offer for a purchase of land in York County is in 1668, when Francis Small traded goods with the Newichewannock tribe of this area. In 1760, eastern portions were lost to the founding of Cumberland and Lincoln counties. In 1805, the northern portion of York County was separated to form part of Oxford County.

Alfred is the County Seat.
