York County is a county
located in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania.
As of 2004, the estimated population was 401,613. York County is located in
the Susquehanna Valley, a large fertile agricultural region in
south-central Pennsylvania. York County was created on August 19,
1749
from part of Lancaster County and named either for
the Duke of York, an early patron of the Penn family, or for the city and
shire of York in England. Its county seat
is the city of York. York was laid out in 1741, incorporated as a borough
on September 24, 1787 and chartered as a city on January 11, 1887. York
served as America's first capitol-home to the Continental Congress from
September 1777-June 1778.
With seventy-two different municipalities, York County has a diverse
range of communities. From small quaint boroughs where everybody knows
everyone else to large urban communities such as Hanover and the City of
York.
Adjacent counties are: Cumberland
County (north); Dauphin
County (northeast); Lancaster
County (east); Harford
County, Maryland (southeast);
Baltimore
County, Maryland (south); Carroll
County, Maryland (southwest);
and Adams
County (west).

Our “Gen-Tool Kit” has been primarily designed for those researchers
who may be traveling to this location to perform on-site studies of their
family history, or to just visit some of the interesting historical sites
located in the area. It can be very satisfying
to mix research with sightseeing at historical and scenic spots. Such activity not only gives you an
understanding of the land but a needed break from intense research sessions. When visiting an ancestral county for
genealogical research we’ve found that the three most important places to
visit are the county courthouse; the county library; and the county
historical and/or genealogical societies.
It is also good to plan ahead by contacting any site you intend
visiting in order to ascertain where it is and when it will be open. This is especially true with regard to
historical and genealogical societies.
We hope that the following information will provide you with a better
idea of what resources are available, within this county, to the family historian. |

/ Description – Shrewsbury
Township, was settled in 1739 and Incorporated in 1742, while
part of Lancaster County. Shrewsbury Township was among the
original 13 Townships that made up York County and one of the first
municipalities to be established west of the Susquehanna River. At the
time the Townships were formed Shrewsbury included the present Townships of
Springfield, Hopewell, East Hopewell and North Hopewell. The first settlers in the area were mostly
English and Scottish-Irish; other portions of the area were settled under
Maryland land titles. When the
township was established, the majority of the citizens were English as reflected
by the English name of Shrewsbury. The Germans began to locate in the
township shortly after its formation, and many of the former English settlers
sold their lands. Conflicting feelings arose between the border settlers in
Pennsylvania and Maryland as a result of the aforementioned land titles, and
the dispute was not resolved until 1767 through the establishment of the
Mason-Dixon Line. Ancestors Associated With This Site: Anna Maria Zeigler, possible wife of Andrew
Gilbert, Jr. is believed to have been born in this Township about 1790. Internet Web Link(s): Shrewsbury Township > Home; |

County boundary changes
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Conducting genealogical research in the United
States requires an understanding of county boundaries. As the population grew more counties were created
to meet the public’s need for localized governments. This phenomena was common in all states
during the 17th, 18th and 19th
centuries. As such you must be sure
that you are not looking for records in the wrong county or state. The web site for the Atlas of Historical County Boundary Project provides interactive
maps for all states. The Atlas of Historical County Boundaries is meant to be
a resource for people seeking records of past events, and people trying to
analyze, interpret and display county-based historical data like Land Records, Probate Records, Court Records, Tax Records,
and Vital Records
that document birth, death, and marriage.
Listed below are the boundary changes for this county, the dates they
occurred, as well as the government statute that decreed the change. To see actual changes in a mapping format
