Nebraska County Countdown: #17 – York County! There’s A Barn With Sheep Living In It! And Marbles!

What’s A Modlite?

York County was organized in 1870. There is not a consensus on what or who York was named after. Some say it was named after York in England. York is a city in North Yorkshire, England. York, England was founded by the Romans in A.D. 71. That’s a long time ago.

It was not named after the Grand Old Duke of York, who had 10,000 men that he led up a hill and back down again, which is not something all that exciting. It was also not named after Alvin C York, better known as “Sgt. York”. Sgt. York won the Medal Of Honor in World War I. If you aren’t aware of his story, you really should look it up. The fact that one man did what he did against the Germans is nothing short of completely amazing.

A personal favorite famous York? Michael York, who starred with Jenny Agutter in “Logan’s Run” which was a really cheesy science-fiction movie made in 1976. He was also in the Austin Powers series. Then, there was the 1971 movie, “Zeppelin”, where he starred with Elke Sommer.
