York County is home to rolling hills and historic downtown buildings, but these come second to the genuine community spirit found here. Let’s discuss why York has become one of Pennsylvania’s fastest-growing counties, with over 460,000 happy residents.  

A serene and fulfilling lifestyle 

York County sits close enough to major cities for convenience but far enough away to maintain a more relaxed pace of life. A quick drive puts you in Harrisburg, Baltimore, or even Philadelphia for a day trip, but the lifestyle in York makes returning home something to look forward to.  

Meanwhile, the outdoors invite exploration. York County’s natural landscape offers remarkable opportunities for recreation and relaxation. Codorus State Park, for instance, spans 3,500 acres around scenic Lake Marburg, where visitors enjoy everything from summer swimming and boating to winter ice fishing. The park offers new activities and views throughout the year, with something truly special in every season. 

The Heritage Rail Trail Park is yet another community treasure that welcomes people of all ages for walking, biking, and horseback riding. These outdoor spaces give residents room to breathe and places to connect with both nature and neighbors. 

Longstanding cultural appeal 

The historic York Central Market is a community favorite at the heart of downtown York. A historic landmark since 1888, it welcomes farmers and artisans who sell everything from just-picked produce to handcrafted items.  

 Our region’s history doesn’t end there, though, as the York State Fair holds the title of America’s oldest fair. Established in 1765, it draws crowds with unique agricultural exhibits and family entertainment. Mark your calendar for July 18-27 to experience the 2025 fair for yourself! 

 Attractions like the Northern Central Railway (NCR), York County History Center, and storied John Wright Restaurant offer something for everyone. And the annual York Halloween Parade has delighted local families for over 70 years!
