About Rock
Hill
Rock Hill is located in York County,
just 25 miles from Charlotte,
North
Carolina and about 70 miles north of
Columbia, South
Carolina.
Upon entering Rock Hill, one will notice
a sign that says “no room for racism,” the
city’s bold statement on equality of all its
visitors as well as citizens.
One will also notice four “Civitas”
statues on Dave Lyle Boulevard.
Each of these “Civitas” hold discs
that symbolize the four different industries
in the city: gears for business, flame for
knowledge, stars strand for inspiration and
creativity, and a lightning bolt for energy.
