YORK COUNTY.
YORK COUNTY.
The original name given by Gorges to his Provinces, extending from the Piscataqua river to the Kennebec, was New Somersetshire, and, in 1638, he sent over his nephew, Capt. Wm. Gorges, to be the governor. By the charter to Gorges of 1639 from Charles I, the whole Province received the name of Maine. In 1658, when Massachusetts assumed and enforced her jurisdiction over the territory, to the western limit of North Yarmouth, in Casco Bay, she gave to it the name of Yorkshire, which extended, by the charter of 1691, over what is now the whole State, and retained until 1760, when the counties of Cumberland and Lincoln were taken from it, and separately incorporated. The Court of Common Pleas was granted to it in 1659, and regularly held to the time of separation; but the supreme court was not granted until 1699, and was held in Kittery until 1743, when it was transferred to York.
