Although Clover was not founded until the Chester and Narrow-Gauge
Railroad built a watering station in the area in the mid-1870s, its rich
history dates back to the American Revolution. Kings Mountain State and
National Military Parks, commemorating a patriot victory, are just
minutes away. Clover's close proximity to Charlotte and the mountains
has attracted many to York County, and its warm hometown atmosphere and
strong sense of community make it a wonderful place to live. Images of
America: Clover celebrates the history and people of Clover, from the
early Scotch-Irish settlers to the present, with over 200
black-and-white images of local people, homes, industries, schools,
churches, and community events. Readers are invited to contemplate a
past filled with steam engines, horse-drawn carriages, and textile
mills, while embracing modern-day Clover, including its sister city
relationship with Larne in Northern Ireland.
