Excerpt from A Hand-Book of the City of Rock Hill

Rock Hill's natal star twinkled into sight in the year 1870, the town then becoming a corporate existence. Its first executive head consisted of the following officers: John R. Allen, Intendant; J. M. Ivy, Dr. T. L. Johnson, M. V. Russell and John Ratterree, Wardens. The last named warden is the only member of the original town council now living.

The original charter was a crude and simple affair, and was soon found inadequate to the demands of a thriving and growing town. It was amended and enlarged by the State Legislature from time to time to meet the exigencies of the changing conditions. It became thus of a fragmentary and patch-work character, and -was not long to be tolerated in this condition. In the year 1892, the young town, having grown into a stalwart municipality of several thousand souls, decided to put aside the ways of childhood and to apply for sisterhood into the galaxy of South Carolina cities. So that, in December of that year, the Legislature of the State granted to Rock Hill a full and complete city charter, conferring the most liberal and ample governmental privileges, powers and functions, and changing the name of the corporation to that of "The City of Rock Hill."

The first City Council elected under the Citv Charter was composed of the following persons: Dr. John W. Fewell, Mayor ; Ed. E. Poag, Edward R. Avery, A. J. Thompson, John J. Waters, W. J. Irby and W. H. Wylie, Aldermen.

The present City Council is composed of W. C. Hutchison, Mayor; W. G. Reid, John J. Waters, R. Lee Kerr, E. R. Avery, L. M. Davis and J. A. Green, Aldermen.

The Police Department is at present officered as follows : F. W. Culp, Chief; J. F. Doby, L. D. Wilkinson, A. L. Wallace and J. M. Devinney, Assistants.
