Rock Hill is the largest city in York County, South Carolina and the fourth-largest city in the state. It is also the fourth-largest city of the Charlotte metropolitan area, behind Charlotte, Concord, and Gastonia. The population was 66,154 as of the 2010 Census. Rock Hill is located approximately... 25 miles south of Charlotte and approximately 70 miles north of Columbia. Succeeding cultures of indigenous peoples lived in the Piedmont for thousands of years. The historic Catawba Indian Nation, a traditionally Siouan-speaking tribe, was here at the time of European encounter. Currently the only tribe in South Carolina that is federally recognized, its members live near Rock Hill. The European-American city was named for a flint hill of rock that was in the way of the Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad, which was building a rail line in the nineteenth century from Charlotte, North Carolina to Columbia. Workers removed the rock to make way for the railroad, which built a depot at the site that eventually became known as Rock Hill. The city dates its history to April 17, 1852, when the first Rock Hill Post Office opened.
