A county rich with history, the original name given by Gorges to his Provinces was New Somersetshire. In 1638, Gorges nephew, Captain William Gorges became Governor. By the charter to Gorges of 1639 from Charles I, the whole Province received the name of MAINE. In 1658, Massachusetts enforced jurisdiction over the territory and gave it the name YORKSHIRE. York County is the oldest county in the state with extensive County records which can still be found at the courthouse in Alfred. The earliest recorded documents date from 1636. York County now encompasses 989 square miles. Contains two cities and 27 towns. Alfred remains as the County Seat. -Maine Register-
