Other Details:
The first settlers came to York in 1623 and settled at the mouth of the York River. Primarily English and Scot, they were farmers and fishermen. Their efforts were successful and the area was growing when in 1692, an Indian massacre occurred, destroying all but a handful of these pre-colonial buildings. Through strength and determination the town was rebuilt and prospered. The picturesque York River was a fluid expressway for merchant ships during the 1700s. Warehouses lined the riverbanks and as many as fifty multi-masted ships were anchored in the York River at one time. During this period John Hancock owned and operated a wharf and business on the York River behind the York Golf and Tennis Club. The wharf is still there today operated as a museum and art gallery by the Old York Historical Society.
