About Rock Hill

Nestled in the gently rolling foothills of Piedmont South Carolina, Rock Hill is the largest city in York County and the 5th largest in South Carolina. Rock Hill is known for its gardens and manicured landscapes, particularly Glencairn Garden, Cherry Park, and the historic Winthrop University campus. Rock Hill is also home to South Carolina's only federally recognized Indian tribe, the Catawba Indian Nation. Other cultural attractions include the Museum of York County, The Gateway, and Mighty Casey. Located on I-77, Rock Hill provides a safe, hometown atmosphere with easy access to big-city benefits.
