York County, SC

Fort Mill is a town in York County, South Carolina, situated on the Catawba River just south of Charlotte, North Carolina. The area was settled by Scots-Irish and English families in the 1760s following the end of the Cherokee War, and the land that would become Fort Mill was part of the broader York District agricultural economy centered on cotton and subsistence farming. The town takes its name from a fort built near a Catawba Nation settlement and a grist mill that served the early settlers, and it was incorporated in 1873. The antebellum families who farmed the Fort Mill area accumulated Liberty Head gold coins, early Bust and Seated Liberty silver, and the obsolete banknotes issued by the Bank of Chester and the Catawba Bank of South Carolina that still surface in York County estate sales today. Fort Mill is also notable as the site of the Confederate Monument to the Faithful Slaves, erected in 1895, which reflects the town's deep engagement with its antebellum and Civil War heritage.

The textile era transformed Fort Mill beginning in the 1880s. Leroy Springs founded the Fort Mill Manufacturing Company in 1887, establishing the Springs family as the dominant industrial dynasty in York County. The Springs Cotton Mills, which grew from that original Fort Mill operation, eventually became Springs Industries, one of the largest textile companies in the United States and the dominant employer in York County for nearly a century. The mill families who worked in Fort Mill's cotton mills saved pre-1933 gold coins and pre-1964 silver coins in patterns that reflected both the cash wages of mill work and the deep distrust of banks that followed the Panic of 1907 and the Great Depression. The Fort Mill National Bank, chartered in 1902, issued national bank notes that are actively collected today by currency specialists nationwide.

The mid-20th century saw Fort Mill transform from a mill town into a suburban community. Springs Industries continued to dominate the local economy through the 1970s, but the decline of the American textile industry in the 1980s and 1990s forced the company to diversify and eventually sell its textile operations. Fort Mill's proximity to Charlotte made it an attractive destination for Charlotte-area workers seeking affordable housing, and the town grew dramatically beginning in the 1990s. The development of Baxter Village, a planned community built on the former Springs Industries land beginning in 2000, brought thousands of new residents to Fort Mill and transformed the town's character from a mill community to a Charlotte suburb.

Today, Fort Mill is one of the fastest-growing towns in South Carolina, consistently ranked among the best places to live in the Southeast. The town's estate collections reflect that layered history: antebellum silver and gold from the plantation era, national bank notes from the Fort Mill National Bank, pre-1933 gold coins accumulated during the Springs Industries era, and the modern estate collections of the Charlotte-area professionals who have retired to Fort Mill.
