City Directories and History: Walker’s 1910 Postal Route map is an invaluable tool in tracking historical locations in York County’s early 20th century rural communities. Each section is tagged with the names associated with that particular area. Be sure to open the MORE INFORMATION / ENLARGEABLE MAP link for the enlargeable PDF map which users can easily study.
The Rock Hill Herald reported on Oct. 16, 1884 – “The county commission will let a bid on Oct. 31, for a bridge over Tools Fork on the Lower Road to Yorkville near the residence of Mr. J.N. Steele.”
The Herald reported on April 22, 1896 – “Mr. G. R. Starnes, a prosperous farmer living about three miles below Rock Hill on the Chester Road, has let the contract for an eight room house to be erected on his place.”
In many cases, these same locations, have also been linked directly to the R&R “other” pages, associated with the individual names, and sites on the maps. To return to the master index list, click HOME.
