Rock Hill, South Carolina is the largest city in
York County.
Rock Hill was founded in 1852 and is
home to approximately 60,000 residents and is the fifth largest in the state.
Rock Hill is located in north central
South Carolina just off I-77, about 15 miles below the
North Carolina border and 25 miles south of
downtown Charlotte. The city was named for a
hill of flint
rock that impeded the progress of the
Charlotte and
South Carolina Railroad Company. The rail line was built from
Charlotte to Columbia and much of the flint
rock had to be removed to make way for the railroad. A depot was constructed at the site that eventually became known as
Rock Hill.
