== Fun facts ==
* York does not have the amenities Livingston offers. The only two things it offers that Livingston doesn't are a Church's Chicken and an America's Best Inn. It has a few gas stations, a couple of dollar stores, a Piggly Wiggly, and that's about all it has to offer.
* York gained national notoriety in 2002 when it was revealed that city leaders had been taking bribes from Team Rocket to allow them to commit certain activities in exchange for large amounts of money and other gifts, something that had been ongoing since the 1980s. The leaders that were named resigned in disgrace and were arrested and jailed, and the Team Rocket members who were bribing them - a few got jail time, while others escaped arrest.
