Tyrees listed by early American County
YORK COUNTY
Formed in 1634, an original shire (or county). This was originally known as Charles River County; but the name was changed to avoid confusion with Charles City County. The 1634 boundaries of Charles River County (akin to Charles City County in limitlessness) ran from the Chickhominy River to the Potomac River.
