Clover, South Carolina

Incorporated: Chartered in 1887

Size: About 2.4 square miles.

History: Clover officially began in the mid-1870s around the site of a 5,000 gallon water tank constructed to serve the steam engines of the Chester and Lenoir Railroad Narrow Gauge Railroad. Legend has it that water spilling over on to the ground caused patches of clover to spring up and the town was referred to first as Clover Patch.

Historic Sites: The Dr. E.W. Pressly House at the corner of Pressly and Kings Mountain streets is a two story Victorian home now, but used to be the one story cottage of the town’s third doctor.

Clover Presbyterian Church, located on the corner of Church and Kings Mountain streets, is the towns oldest congregation having been organized in 1881.

Old Clover Post Office was once one of the first six buildings marking Clover a town. Built by Josiah I. Gwinn in 1884, it was the first post office built in the town.

Clover Centennial Park is located on a corner downtown and was donated to the city to be used for a park in celebration of the town’s centennial in 1987.

Did you know? Clover was first settled by the descendants of the Scotch-Irish. In celebration of its heritage, Clover residents host an annual Feis Chlobhair, or A Clover Kinntra Festival the second week of June. Bagpipes play, haggis and cabers are tossed and everyone has a good time. Clover’s sister city in Northern Ireland is Larne Borough in County Antrim.
