Landmarks from York's Latino history, all one on place: A mural depicts the Latino story in a block named for pioneers Edwin and Delma Rivera. Behind the mural, the second standalone Spanish American Center stands, now a bilingual church. In the background, the two-story white building served as the center for the Latino community in 2008 and for about a decade afterward. All these landmarks stand in and around the South Queen Street neighborhoods where early Latinos settled in York.
Continental Congress experienced highs, lows and the rigors of life on a frontier when they made York the national capital for nine months in 1777-78.
