York Friends Meeting

The original Yrok Friends Meeting was established in 1765 on land donated by Nathan Hussey, with a meetinghouse being built soon atferward. Hussey's will, probated in 1773, added another small tract of land to the property whuch allowed the burial ground, behaind the meetinghouse, to be enlarged. The property is located on the northern side of Philadelphia Street in the city of York.

In 1786, a Monthly Meeting was established as part of the Warrington and Fairfax Quarterly Meeting, which included York and the Newberry Preparative Meeting.

By the mid 1850's the meetinghouse was in need of extensive repairs, which were accomplished, but in 1858, the meeting was discontinued and its remaining members transferred to the care of Baltimore Monthly Meeting as an indulged worship group. In 1933, the meeting was re-established as a Preparative meeting, and, finally, in 1951, the York Monthly Meeting was established once again under Warrington Quarterly Meeting.
