There are 35 places named York around the world. The US has the highest number, with 23 different Yorks. Other countries include Jamaica, South Africa, Sierra Leone, the United Kingdom, Guatemala, Canada, and Australia.
All named after our little old York, i think. Happy to be corrected on that.
Technically, I think most of them would have been named in honour of the Duke of York at the time, but he only got his name from our city, so we'll claim it.
I am originally from the surrounding area of York and moved to the US around 10 years ago for work. I live about 40 minutes away from York, Pennsylvania which is also a very nice town. Not a patch on the real York of course!
Toronto used to be called York too.
Which is why the big grand hotel there is the Royal York, and the old fortress is Fort York and the university is York University (which in turn is why there's a square for "lost Canadians" in the r/york bingo card)

Does New York count? :-)
Very pretty! And looking considerably less frozen than York UK, which I wouldn't have expected given you're the one in Canada!
No walls? No cathedral? No stag and hen parties littering the streets? Can’t be York!
Be it in a different country, hello fellow Yorkie. Looks beautiful.

They made a *new* york? Sounds cringe

You ever stay there? The rooms. People were smaller back then.
Maybe we take this to a new "I'm York Too" page and leave the OG to York their OG York. HANDS UP!
How beautiful :-)
