Named after the city of York in England, it was settled in the 1830s by farmers who concentrated their efforts on sheep and wheat. A township did not begin to appear until 183536 when an army barracks and store were built.
By the late 1880s the town was teeming with miners and fossickers, all alighting from the train and preparing to make the long journey across the plains to the goldfields. It was during the period 18861900 that most of the town¹s impressive buildings were constructed.
