Hi,

For the Atchison Co. Website, the list of towns, I found this newspaper article from York PA about York, Missouri:

http://www.ydr.com/yorks/missouri.shtml

There are also pictures on the second page.

I haven't run across anything about why it was named York, the York families I've found were from Nishnabotna Township.  This York was about six miles east of Tarkio.
