Despite its title that implies the paper is Yorkshire wide it is a Leeds-based paper, still widely circulated in Bradford, Harrogate, Huddersfield, and Wakefield as well.
The City of Leeds has two further widely circulated local papers, being the Wetherby News and the Wharfedale and Airedale Observer.
For many years, the Evening Post produced a separate edition for South Yorkshire printed simultaneously in Doncaster. In 1970, that was converted into the now closed Doncaster Evening Post.
Starting in 1926, the Yorkshire Evening Post sponsored motorcycle trial events on Post Hill, an area near Farnley specifically acquired for this purpose.[2][importance?]
