York is a small place in Indiana, a state in the United States. It's located in Steuben County, specifically within York Township. York is known as an unincorporated community.

A Look Back in Time
York has a bit of history, even though it's a small community. A post office was opened in York way back in 1839. This was an important place for people to send and receive letters and packages. The post office served the community for many years. It finally closed its doors in 1907.
Before it was widely known as York, this community had another name. It was sometimes called Hathaway. Over time, the name York became the one everyone used.
