Founded by Hiram Young in 1876 as The Evening Dispatch, it is the oldest newspaper still published in York County, Pennsylvania.[1] The newspaper was aligned with Republican politics for about 115 years.[2] Gannett bought the Dispatch in mid-2015.[3]

The Dispatch is in a joint operating agreement with the York Daily Record. The newspapers are to return to more independent operations after the agreement expires in June 2024.[4] The York Dispatch is the former publisher of the York Sunday News.
