York: Articles of Confederation and Harley-Davidson
York served as the capital of the Continental Congress from September 1777 to June 1778, after the body fled Philadelphia ahead of British occupation. The Articles of Confederation, the first governing document of the United States, were drafted and adopted here on November 15, 1777. The Colonial Courthouse on East Market Street is a reconstruction on the original site where the Articles were signed.
York was founded in 1741 and laid out on a grid similar to Philadelphia's. Central Market, an indoor farmers market on West Philadelphia Street, has operated since 1888 in an ornate brick building. The White Rose nickname dates to the York-Lancaster rivalry that mirrored the English Wars of the Roses, with York taking the white rose and Lancaster the red.
Harley-Davidson built its largest assembly plant on the outskirts of York in 1973, and the facility still produces the Touring, Softail, and CVO lines. The Harley-Davidson plant tour draws thousands of visitors annually. The York Revolution, a minor league baseball team in the Atlantic League, plays at WellSpan Park downtown.
