York County is a living part of “America’s Historic Triangle,” along with Williamsburg and Jamestown. A visit to the historic sites is a must for understanding the nation’s birth. Yorktown is the site of Lord Cornwallis’s surrender to Gen. George Washington in 1781—ending the Revolutionary War with “Victory at Yorktown.” York County boasts 4,000 acres of battlefields, the state-of-the-art American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, and historic Main Street complete with 18th-century homes and quaint retail shops. People also flock here to enjoy the beaches, restaurants, art galleries, and specialty shops extending from the riverfront all the way down Highway 17 and out to The Edge District beside Williamsburg and James City County. There’s something to do every weekend, from farmers markets, concerts and art events to Segway tours, sunset sails and trolley rides. Make York County home for your business and family with a quality of life unmatched in Hampton Roads.

Recently named one of “The South’s Best Barbecue Joints” by Southern Living, Pierce’s Pitt BBQ is a County staple.
