Rock Hill, South Carolina got its start in 1852 as a depot on the Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad, named for a small, rocky knoll that construction crews encountered while laying track. The town grew quickly once cotton mills moved into the area, was incorporated in 1870, and officially became a city in 1892. Today, Rock Hill is the largest city in York County and the fourth-largest city in the Charlotte metro, with a population that's grown well past 74,000 residents, located about 26 miles south of Charlotte.

Rock Hill has built a reputation well beyond its size. It's home to Winthrop University, a well-regarded four-year public university, along with a growing reputation in athletics that's earned the city the nickname "Football City USA," thanks to the Carolina Panthers' former training facility and a strong tradition of competitive youth and high school sports. The city's revitalized downtown, Knowledge Park innovation district, and proximity to Lake Wylie have all helped draw new residents and businesses over the past decade.

Homes for sale in Rock Hill range from historic properties near downtown and Winthrop's campus to newer subdivisions throughout the city and surrounding York County.
