There
is an ongoing effort to place images and details about the history of
the Rock Hill Elks Lodge #1318 and the counties of York, Lancaster,
and Chester.
The
history of Rock Hill dates back to 1852, and the founders of this city
have family ties from soldiers who fought for the Patriots in the Revolutionary
War to a signer of the Declaration of Independence and one of the individuals
who wrote the final draft of the U. S. Constitution. The History of
York, Lancaster, and Chester Counties are rich with influence from early
settlers, the Catawba Indians, the Revolutionary War and the Catawba
River. The History of Rock Hill Lodge #1318 dates back to 1915 and physically
has been located in several facilities, the present downtown facility,
and the property on Lake Wylie being in existence since the 1960's.

1940's through the 1960's have become available on these pages. Please
feel free to browse them, but be aware that they are in no specific
order other than the images numbered 001 - 054 are numbered in order
of the from one photo album, while the images numbered A001 - A042 come
