This article appears in Volume V23, Page 434 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
ROCK HILL , a city of
York
  county, South Carolina, U.S.A., 84 m. by rail N. of Columbia. Pop. (189o) 2744; (1900) 5485 (1706 negroes); (191o) 7216. Rock Hill is served by two lines of the Southern railway. It lies at an
elevation
  of about 67o ft. above the sea. Among its buildings and institutions are the Federal Government Building, the City Flail, the
Carnegie
  Library and the Winthrop Normal and Industrial College (chartered in 1891 and opened in 1894), a state institution for white girls.
Cotton
  is the most important product of the surrounding country. The Catawba river, 5 M. distant, furnishes good water-power, and in a large power-plant electricity is generated for the city's manufactories. Among the manufactures are
cotton
  goods, cotton-seed oil, yarn, wagons and carriages, foundry and machine-shop products; and there are cotton gins, marble and stone works. The growth of the city has been almost entirely since the Civil War. Rock Hill was incorporated As a
village
  in 1870, and was chartered as a city in 1892.
