York, Coastal town in Southern Maine Coast, US
York encompasses four distinct villages along the Atlantic Ocean: York Village, York Harbor, York Beach, and Cape Neddick, connected by scenic coastal roads.
The settlement, established in 1624 as Agamenticus, developed into a trading center between New England and the West Indies during the colonial period.
The Museums of Old York present multiple preserved buildings and artifacts that demonstrate the evolution of New England colonial life through the centuries.
The town maintains several beaches, including Long Sands and Short Sands, with parking areas, restrooms, and lifeguard stations during summer months.
Mount Agamenticus rises 692 feet above sea level, offering hiking trails and views stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the White Mountains.
