York River
The York River is a 34-mile long estuary in eastern Virginia that flows into the southwest portion of Chesapeake Bay. It forms at the Town of West Point in King William County, at the point where the Mattaponi and Pamunkey Rivers converge.
The residential areas along the York River are lovely waterfront communities with a rich historic character. The area is home to some of the earliest and most enduring English colonies in North America, as well as the site of notable events during the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.
