'''Yates County''' is a [[County (United States)|county]] in the [[U.S. state]] of [[New York (state)|New York]]. As of the [[2020 United States census|2020 Census]], the population was 24,774,<ref name="QF">{{cite web|title=U.S. Census Bureau Quick Facts: Yates County, New York|url=https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/yatescountynewyork/PST045221|access-date=January 2, 2022|publisher=United States Census Bureau}}</ref> making it the third-least populous county in New York. The [[county seat]] is [[Penn Yan, New York|Penn Yan]].<ref name="GR6">{{cite web|url=http://www.naco.org/Counties/Pages/FindACounty.aspx|access-date=June 7, 2011|title=Find a County|publisher=National Association of Counties|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110531210815/http://www.naco.org/Counties/Pages/FindACounty.aspx|archive-date=May 31, 2011}}</ref> The name is in honor of [[Joseph C. Yates]], who as [[Governor of New York]] signed the act establishing the county. The county is part of the [[Finger Lakes]] region of the state.

Yates County is included in the [[Rochester, New York|Rochester]], NY [[Rochester, New York Metropolitan Area|Metropolitan Statistical Area]].

==Formation of the county==
When counties were established in New York State in 1683, the present Yates County was part of [[Albany County, New York|Albany County]]. This was an enormous county, including the northern part of New York State as well as all of the present State of [[Vermont]] and, in theory, extending westward to the [[Pacific Ocean]]. This county was reduced in size on July 3, 1766, by the creation of [[Cumberland County, New York|Cumberland County]], and again on March 16, 1770, by the creation of [[Gloucester County, New York|Gloucester County]], both containing territory now in Vermont.

On March 12, 1772, what was left of Albany County was split into three parts, one remaining under the name Albany County. One of the other pieces, [[Tryon County, New York|Tryon County]], contained the western portion (and thus, since no western boundary was specified, theoretically still extended west to the Pacific). The eastern boundary of Tryon County was approximately five miles west of the present city of [[Schenectady, New York|Schenectady]], and the county included the western part of the [[Adirondack Mountains]] and the area west of the West Branch of the [[Delaware River]]. The area then designated as Tryon County now includes 37 counties of New York State. The county was named for [[William Tryon]], colonial governor of New York.

In the years prior to 1776, most of the Loyalists in Tryon County fled to [[Canada]]. In 1784, following the peace treaty that ended the [[American Revolutionary War]], the name of Tryon County was changed to honor the general, [[Richard Montgomery]], who had captured several places in Canada and died attempting to capture the city of [[Quebec]], replacing the name of the hated British governor.

On January 27, 1789, {{convert|10480|sqmi|km2|-1}} of Montgomery County was split off to create [[Ontario County, New York|Ontario County]], including the lands of the present [[Allegany County, New York|Allegany]], [[Cattaraugus County, New York|Cattaraugus]], [[Chautauqua County, New York|Chautauqua]], [[Erie County, New York|Erie]], [[Genesee County, New York|Genesee]], [[Livingston County, New York|Livingston]], [[Monroe County, New York|Monroe]], [[Niagara County, New York|Niagara]], [[Orleans County, New York|Orleans]], [[Steuben County, New York|Steuben]], [[Wyoming County, New York|Wyoming]], and Yates counties, and part of [[Schuyler County, New York|Schuyler]] and [[Wayne County, New York|Wayne]] counties.

On March 18, 1796, {{convert|1800|sqmi|km2|-2}} of Ontario County was partitioned to form Steuben County.

On April 3, 1801, Ontario County exchanged land with [[Cayuga County, New York|Cayuga County]], and lost {{convert|190|sqmi|km2|-1}} as a result.

On March 30, 1802, Ontario County lost {{convert|6540|sqmi|km2|-1}} of land through the partition of Genesee County, including the present Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, [[Erie County, New York|Erie]], Niagara, Orleans and Wyoming counties and parts of Livingston and Monroe counties.

In 1821, Ontario County was reduced in size by combining portions of Genesee and Ontario counties to create Livingston and Monroe counties.

On February 5, 1823, Yates County was formed from {{convert|310|sqmi|km2}} of Ontario County, including the area that included [[Vine Valley, New York|Vine Valley]], [[Middlesex, New York|Middlesex]], [[Penn Yan, New York|Penn Yan]], and [[Dresden, Yates County, New York|Dresden, New York]].<ref>New York. ''Laws of New York.''1823, 46th Session, Chapter 30, Section 1; Page 21</ref>

On January 1, 1826, {{convert|60|sqmi|km2}} of Steuben County was partitioned and added to Yates, which included [[Starkey, New York|Starkey]], [[Dundee, New York|Dundee]], and [[Lakemont, New York]].<ref>New York. ''Laws of New York.''1824, 47th Session, Chapter 171; Page 182</ref>

[[File:Yates County topographical map, LOC.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Historical Map of Yates County, 1855]]
On April 15, 1828, {{convert|10|sqmi|km2}} was partitioned from Yates, and passed to Seneca and Tompkins counties, mostly in the forest.<ref>New York. ''Revised Statutes of the State of New York, Passed during the years 1827 and 1828; 3 Volumes; [[Albany, New York]].''1829; Volume 3;Pages 14–15</ref>

On March 17, 1860, Ontario County was authorized to gain land from Yates, but it was never put into effect.<ref>New York. ''Laws of New York.''1860, 83rd Session, Chapter 76; Page 120</ref>

On April 18, 1946, Yates gained {{convert|10|sqmi|km2}} from Schuyler and Seneca counties, which produced the current borders of Yates County.<ref>New York. ''Laws of New York.''1946, 169th Session, Chapter 901; Page 1686</ref>

==History==
In 1790 the [[Public Universal Friend]] and her society moved to the area from their original base in Rhode Island, forming a community at [[Jerusalem, New York|New Jerusalem]], south west of Penn Yan, where [[Jemima Wilkinson House|The Friend's house]] can still be seen.<ref>Cleveland, S. C. (1873). History and Directory of Yates County: Containing a Sketch of Its Original Settlement by the Public Universal Friends, the Lessee Company and Others, with an Account of Individual Pioneers and Their Families; Also, of Other Leading Citizens, Including Church, School, and Civil History, and a Narrative of the Universal Friend.</ref>

In 1974 a new Mennonite settlement was started in Yates County. It grew quickly and steadily and with a population of more than 3,000 in 2015 it was almost as large as the [[Lancaster County, Pennsylvania]] settlement.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Reid|first=Judson|date=November 16, 2019|title=Old Order Mennonites in New York: Cultural and Agricultural Growth|url=https://ideaexchange.uakron.edu/amishstudies/vol3/iss2/6|journal=Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies|volume=3|issue=2|pages=212–221|doi=10.18061/1811/75350|issn=2471-6383|doi-access=free|hdl=1811/75350|hdl-access=free}}</ref>
