History

York County was established in 1785, named after the second son of King George III, Prince Frederick-Augustus (1763-1827), who was made Duke of York in 1784. [2] By 1831, [2] the top half was highly populated, due to the rich soil in the region, so it was split off to become Carleton County. [3]
