Book Title: Madison, Dane County And Surrounding Towns...

YORK.

  THE township of York lies in the northeast corner of Dane county, 18 miles
northeast of Madison, and is known as town 9 north, of range 12 east. The land
in this town is oak openings with occasionally marsh or meadow land, there being
no prairie within its borders. It is watered in the southwest part by Waterloo
creek, which is the only stream in the town. The land is of good quality and
produces excellent crops. There are a number of living springs that afford an
abundant supply of water in the town.

  It is divided into eight school districts and two church organizations. The
town raised $18,454.66 for bounties during the rebellion.

  York Center is the name of a small village at the junction of sections 15, 16,
22 and 24. It has a store, blacksmith shop and a few buildings.

  York is the name of the post office.

  The town of York was organized April 1, 1848. B. B. Freeman was chosen
chairman; D. E. Emery and Walter Brown, supervisors; Martin Mead, justice of the
peace; Otis B. Lapham, town clerk.
