Unity Presbyterian Church

Unity Presbyterian Church, founded in 1788, predates the present town of Fort Mill and has occupied four sites in the vicinity. The first church, a log building, stood about 2 miles northeast in a community known as “Little York” and burned in 1804. A second log church was built 5 blocks north, where the first church cemetery was laid out; that church burned in 1838, and the congregation moved to a site just east of the current location. The second church cemetery, laid out nearby, became a municipal cemetery in the 1920s. The third sanctuary, a frame building, burned in 1880. A Romanesque Revival church built here in 1881, featuring a central bell tower, was constructed with bricks made from local clay. It and the historic cemeteries nearby were listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. A new sanctuary was built here in 2010.
