About location

York straddles Codorus Creek in south-central Pennsylvania, a position that helped it develop as the county seat and a trading centre between the Susquehanna River and the Appalachian foothills. Settled in the 1740s, the city temporarily hosted the Continental Congress during the Revolutionary War; the Articles of Confederation were adopted here in 1777. Downtown York retains a compact grid of civic buildings, shops and former industrial premises, while Roosevelt Avenue is part of the broad commercial corridor extending north of the centre. The city is also associated with American motorcycle manufacturing through Harley-Davidson's York facility. York's annual York State Fair dates to 1765 and is widely described as America's oldest fair.

Pennsylvania
Region Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania stretches from the shore of Lake Erie to the Delaware River, encompassing Appalachian ridges, plateaus and broad river valleys. Near the state’s geographic centre, the West Branch Susquehanna and its tributaries run through forested country, while the main Susquehanna continues south towards Chesapeake Bay. Philadelphia gives Pennsylvania an enduring place in the story of the United States: Independence Hall was the setting for the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the signing of the Constitution. Former industrial cities, Amish and Mennonite communities, farms and state forests reveal markedly different sides of the Commonwealth.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
