York
From Conservapedia
A city in Yorkshire, York was founded by the Romans as Eboracum. The Vikings, who ruled the city for close to a century, renamed it Jorvik, whence the contemporary name stems. York is one of the few remaining walled cities in England.
In addition to the medieval defensive wall, York is also known for:
- York ham
- York Minster, the largest Gothic cathedral in northern Europe
- The National Railway Museum, the world's largest railway museum
- York Railway station, known for its architecture
- Yorkie bars
- The York Rite (see Freemasonry)
The American municipality of New York is named after York.
