York, County seat in south-central Pennsylvania, United States.

York occupies a strategic position at 223 meters above sea level, featuring a combination of residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and industrial areas.

The city functioned as the temporary capital of the Continental Congress in 1777, where the Articles of Confederation were drafted during the American Revolution.

The York Fair, established in the 1700s, continues to bring together residents and visitors for agricultural exhibitions, local food, and entertainment.
