Before 1867, see York County, Canada West.

Established in 1792 in the Home District, York County originally encompassed a very large area extending as far north as Lake Simcoe and as far east as Lake Scugog. Areas of York County were later made into the counties of Halton, Ontario, and Peel.

York County was dissolved in 1971, with its remaining municipalities forming the Regional Municipality of York.
