Named by Governor Macquarie after the Duke of York, York Plains was very close to the main road between Hobart and Launceston. However, by 1836, convict road gangs had completed the alternative route (what we now call the 'old Midlands Highway'), and York Plains was effectively bypassed. By the end of the nineteenth century, the population of the York Plains district had grown considerably, with a state school and post office servicing the district. By 1968, the York Plains Post Office had closed, and the community of York Plains nowadays is mainly made up of farming families who work the land of the nearby farms.

302 York Plains Road is only a 90-min drive from the major centres of Launceston and Hobart.
