Clover

Clover is a town in York County, South Carolina,
United States. The population was 4,014 at the 2000
census.

Larne,County Antrim

Clover was founded in the late 19th century, in the
vicinity of an earlier settlement called New Centre that
had waned at the time of the Civil War. The village of
Clover began as a railway stop midway between York,
South Carolina, and Gastonia, North Carolina.
According to lore, the overflow of water from the
railway's water tank fertilized a patch of clover, and the
stop was called "the clover patch." The town of Clover
was incorporated in 1887, and it later became the
home of several cotton mills, many of which operated
until after World War II.
