The Yorkshire Terrier, as its name implies, originated in Yorkshire, England. In the mid-19th century, at the peak of England’s industrial revolution, miners and mill workers from Scotland came to Yorkshire in search of work and brought with them several different varieties of small, long-coated terriers.
