Clover, South Carolina, located within a short commute to Charlotte, NC and Rock Hill, SC, has grown from a railroad & textile town originally settled by Scottish & Irish immigrants in 1887 to a charming community offering a small town feel with big city ammenities.
Clover originally developed from servicing steam engines from the Chester Railroad. Residents say water spillage from the tank produced clover patches in the area thus giving the town its name.
Today the town boasts a little over 4,000 residents and pays homage to its Scottish-Irish heritage with the Clover Kinntra Festival held each year in June.
Recreational offerings include Clover Community and Roosevelt Park, nearby Lake Wylie and Kings Mountain where boating, hiking and fishing can be enjoyed and numerous area golf courses.
A charming downtown and affordable single family homes make this small town with big city ammenities close by a desireable place to call home!
