This web site was created by 8th Grade students from Saluda Trail Middle School in Rock Hill, South Carolina.  We created the "Historic Sites of Rock Hill" web site to celebrate Rock Hill's 150 Sesquicentennial Birthday.  Rock Hill began as a railroad town in 1852 as the railroad transported cotton across the state and into North Carolina.  The name "Rock Hill" is said to have come from the flint rock the railroad crew picked through to lay the track.  Why not start at the Railroad link to begin your journey through a great historic Carolina town!
