History of Fort MillMove here for great quality of life.

Fort Mill takes its name from a colonial-era British fort built in the mid-1700s to protect Catawba Indian territory, combined with a grist mill constructed by early settler Webb Springs along Steel Creek. Incorporated in 1873, the town grew into a vital textile manufacturing center anchored by Springs Cotton Mills, established by Samuel Elliott White and Leroy Springs.

For over a century, Springs Industries served as the economic heartbeat of Fort Mill, building strong community infrastructure, parks, and housing for textile workers. As textile operations scaled down in the late 20th century, community leaders strategically preserved vast tracts of land, paving the way for sustainable modern residential growth.

A key milestone in preserving Fort Mill’s heritage was the establishment of the Anne Springs Close Greenway in 1995, protecting 2,100 acres of natural hardwood forests, lakes, and trails from urban sprawl. Today, Fort Mill honors its rich textile and Catawba heritage while thriving as a premier residential destination in the Charlotte metro area.
