Rock Hill, Municipal center in York County, South Carolina, United States.
Rock Hill is a city in South Carolina that occupies both sides of the Catawba River. The municipality includes thirty-one parks and multiple hiking trails that wind through neighborhoods and along waterways.
The settlement began in 1852 at a railroad junction and grew quickly into a regional trade center. The town took its name from a rocky elevation near the first railway station.
The Friendship Nine sit-in of 1961 at McCrory's lunch counter marked a significant moment in the American civil rights movement.
The city sits south of Charlotte in North Carolina and is accessible via several main roads. Visitors find parking in most residential areas and near public facilities.
The city has produced more players active in the professional football league than any similar community in the nation. This phenomenon stems partly from the reputation of local school sports programs and support from residents.
