The Catawba lived in the Fort Mill area for many years. In the mid-18th century William Spratt and his wife, Elizabeth, traveling by wagon through upper South Carolina, spent a night among the Catawba, who invited them to stay and gave them a large tract of land. They became the first white settlers in the area, and their descendants still live there, among them John Spratt, the area's congressman from 1983 to 2011. Scots-Irish settlers followed in the 1750s and 1760s.
The town was established in 1873 and named for its place between two landmarks: a fort the British built in colonial times to protect the Catawba from raiders from the north, and Webb's Mill. During their flight from Richmond in 1865, Jefferson Davis and his cabinet passed through, and the last meeting of the full Confederate cabinet was held at the White Homestead in Fort Mill. The town's Confederate Park holds a monument to enslaved people who labored for the Confederacy, described as the only one of its kind in the country. Fort Mill grew quickly in the late 19th century as textile mills were built, and it kept growing after the mills closed, becoming a major suburb of Charlotte. In the 1970s and 1980s it was home to the television evangelist Jim Bakker's Heritage USA. Sources Wikipedia: Fort Mill, South Carolina
