http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/York,_New_York >From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia York — Town — York Location within the state of New York Coordinates: 42°51′32″N 77°53′25″WCoordinates: 42°51′32″N 77°53′25″W Country United States State New York County Livingston York is a town in western Livingston County, New York, United States. The population was 3,219 at the 2000 census. History In 1722, the Tuscarora moved north to join other Iroquoian natives, the League of the Iroquois, and settled near modern Piffard. The town was first settled by Europeans around 1800. The town was formed in 1819 from parts of the towns of Leicester and Caledonia before the establishment of Livingston County. More territory was added from the town of Covington in 1823. Salt was discovered in 1883 near modern Retsof, leading to the formation of the New York Rock Salt Company. Further discoveries were made subsequently by the Empire Salt Company.
