The Formative Years
(1910-1920)
 

YORK WAS NOW WELL ESTABLISHED as a summer resort and the "York Country Club Membership List for 1912" includes members from Chicago, New York, Washington, Boston, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Providence, Baltimore, Spokane, Pittsburg, Richmond, Cincinnati, Montreal, Ottawa and St. Augustine. The members and family subscribers came to York Harbor from over 56 cities and towns throughout the country. New York and Philadelphia provided the most members with 31 each. However 39 came from a dozen cities in the Greater Boston area. Baltimore (17), Washington (10), Chicago (8) and Pittsburg (8) were high on the list of winter addresses for York Harbor's loyal summer residents.

The summer addresses of the members and family subscribers is also of interest. Thirty-two of the people on the membership list summered in one of the many hotels and boarding houses that were operating in this area. The Marshall House was the most popular with seventeen of the members as guests. The Albracca ranked second with six members and the Yorkshire Inn had five. Other summer vacation sites of country club members were the Varrell House, Harmon Hall, the Champernoune and the Emerson.

The remaining members were cottage owners or house guests in the cottages. Twenty-two lived in York Village and 135 of them listed York Harbor addresses. Others had residences at York Cliffs, York Corner, York Beach, Oqunquit, Gerrish Island and Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
