York County, South Carolina

York Location Map South Carolina

York County sits in the northern part of South Carolina, right on the border with North Carolina. The Catawba River is a major player here, offering up some prime recreation spots.

History runs deep in these parts. The Revolutionary War left its mark, and you can still visit battlefields today. The county’s also home to Winthrop University, founded in 1886.

Rock Hill is the largest city and has a killer food scene. Try the pimento cheese as it’s a local staple. Sports fans get their fix at the BMX Supercross Track. It’s world-class.
