York was a mining settlement in the U.S. state of Alaska during the late 19th- and early 20th-century. The mining camp was located at the mouth of Anikovik River, at Cape York on the Seward Peninsula, about 80 miles north-west of Nome and 45 miles north-west of Port Clarence. Wales, the westernmost settlement on the mainland United States, is 15 miles north-west of York at Cape Prince of Wales.| Tap on a place to explore it |
