York is a historic walled city in North Yorkshire, England, at the confluence of the rivers Ouse and Foss. Over the years it has also been known by its inhabitants as Eboracum, Eoferwic, and Jórvík. The city was founded in AD 71 and became in turn the capital of a Roman province and of the kingdoms of Northumbria and Jorvik. After the establishment of the Kingdom of England, York was regarded as the capital of the North, and housed the Council of the North. Whilst the idea of the North being a separate province with its own capital has since disappeared from secular politics, the Church of England has retained the concept, and York remains the seat of the Archbishop of York and the capital of the Province of York. York is also the traditional county town of Yorkshire.
