The name of the region was suggested by JS Clarkson during an expedition in October 1830 because of its similarity to his own county in England, Yorkshire.[5]: 22 [a] After thousands of years of occupation by Ballardong Nyoongar people, the area was first settled by Europeans in 1831, two years after Perth was settled in 1829. A town was established in 1835 with the release of town allotments and the first buildings were erected in 1836. The region was important throughout the 19th century for sheep and grain farming, sandalwood, cattle, goats, pigs and horse breeding.[7] York boomed during the gold rush as it was one of the last rail stops before the walk to the goldfields.[8] Today, the town attracts tourists for its beauty, history, buildings, festivals and art. Ballardong Nyoongar The Ballardong people, a sub-group of the Nyoongar, occupied the land before European settlement.
