York is a small town in the western part of the West African country of Sierra Leone, about 30 kilometers north of the capital Freetown, in the Western Area. As one of Sierra Leone's coastal settlements, York is known for its peaceful rural atmosphere and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, and the local economy relies mainly on agriculture (e.g. rice, palm oil farming) and small-scale fishing. Although less prosperous than Freetown, York has retained some of its traditional Sierra Leonean culture, with a predominantly Creole (Krio) population, and English and Creole as the predominant languages. The area is well connected to the capital by road and is one of the gateways to exploring the rural and coastal landscapes of western Sierra Leone.
