History

The area that would become the town was first settled circa 1810. The town of Yorkshire was formed in 1820 from the "town of Ischua" (now Franklinville). In 1827, the south part of the town was taken to form the town of Machias.

Western historian and notable U.S. Army engineer Hiram M. Chittenden was born in Yorkshire on October 25, 1858.
