York, United Kingdom
About York
York is a walled city, situated at the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and Foss in North Yorkshire, England. The city has a rich heritage and has provided the backdrop
to major political events throughout much of its two millennia of existence.
York's location on the River Ouse, in the centre of the Vale of York and half way
between the capitals of London and Edinburgh means that it has long had a significant
position in the nation's transport system. The 19th century saw York, under the
influence of George Hudson, become an important hub of the railway network and a
manufacturing centre. In recent decades, the economy of York has moved from being
dominated by its confectionery and railway-related industries to one that provides
services. The University of York and health services have become major employers.
Tourism also boosts the local economy because the city offers a wealth of historic
attractions, of which York Minster is the most prominent, and a variety of cultural
activities.
