Some European settlers reached the Rock Hill area in the 1830s and 1840s, but the town began with the Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad. The railroad hoped to build a station at Ebenezerville, midway between Charlotte and Columbia, but residents there refused, considering trains dirty and noisy, so the line was run two miles away past a landmark that, by some accounts, the surveyors marked on the map as "rocky hill." The three largest landowners, the White, Black and Moore families, gave the railroad right of way, and George Pendleton White contracted to build part of the line. Construction began in 1848, the first passenger train arrived on March 23, 1852, and the post office opened on April 17, 1852.
Captain J. H. McGinnis built a general store near the station around 1849 or 1850 to supply railroad workers, and Templeton Black, who had leased him the land, hired the surveyor Squire John Roddey to lay out a main street, selling the first lot to Ira Ferguson for $125. Rock Hill Academy, known as Pine Grove Academy, opened in September 1854 on land given by Ann Hutchinson White, and the Indian Land Chronicle, later the Rock Hill Chronicle, was the first newspaper. On the eve of the Civil War, half of York County's 21,800 people were enslaved, working the cotton fields, and of the county's men who served, 805 died. Rock Hill's railroad made it a transfer point for Confederate soldiers and supplies, and with no hospital, townspeople nursed sick and wounded soldiers at home and took in refugees from the coast and from Sherman's army.
