Fort Mill, South Carolina is a vibrant and growing city that offers a high quality of life to its residents. It has a long history of being a major textile manufacturing center, and today it is home to a wide range of industries, including technology, healthcare, and retail. The city is also known for its attractions and points of interest, such as Old White Homestead, the Fort Mill Southern Railway Depot, and the Unity Presbyterian Church. Fort Mill has become a popular bedroom community in recent years due to its booming real estate market.
The city offers a variety of housing options, including single-family homes, townhomes, and apartments. Baxter Village, Tega Cay, and Fort Mill Township are some of the most popular neighborhoods in the area. The city's economy is driven by the Fort Mill Manufacturing Company, which was incorporated in 1887. This company (later called Springs Industries) expanded for more than 100 years and was responsible for bringing Fort Mill to the textile economy that dominated the north of the state. Today, important companies such as the headquarters of Carolina Crown Drum and Bugle Corps (which were DCI world champions in 2001), LPL Financial and Continental Tire the Americas (Lancaster County), LLC are based in Fort Mill.
Fort Mill also offers a unique combination of history, culture and outdoor recreation that attracts visitors and residents of all ages. In 1865, President Jefferson Davis passed through the town of Fort Mill and stayed at the Springfield plantation. The 2,100-acre Anne Springs Close Greenway is also a popular destination for outdoor activities. Fort Mill has not suffered any direct impact from any tropical system since 1989, when Hurricane Hugo devastated the area.
Despite this, it remains an attractive place to live due to its strong economy and high quality of life.
