The origins of Trinity Church go back to 1884 when summer visitors began the construction of a small wooden church which was consecrated in August 1886 and called St. George’s Church. Services were held Sundays in the summer months with early morning communion, Morning Prayer at 10:30, and Evening Prayer at 5 p.m.
By 1903 it became apparent that St. George’s Church was too small and plans were made to erect the present building. The cornerstone was laid in 1908 and the first service was held in June 1910. The funds were raised from men prominent men in York Harbor as well as in public life in their home states, including Thomas Nelson Page, author and statesman, who later gave the large memorial window in the south transept. (There is also a beautiful Tiffany window over the altar.)

The trustees of St. George’s Church then became the Trustees of Trinity Church which continues to this day. The Old St. George’s Church was used occasionally in the spring, winter, and fall, but was deconsecrated in 1930 and given away.
