Millstone Park

Millstone Park. . , Millstone Park is named in honor of the granite millstone that now rests atop the plaza. The history of this millstone is of local significance; it is one of only three remaining millstones known to exist from Webb's Mill, a grist mill which operated on nearby Steele Creek from the 1770's to 1880's. Webb's Mill was also the inspiration for the "mill" in Fort Mill's name., The grist mill played a critical role in the development of the Fort Mill community. For over a century, local farmers used the water-powered mill to grind corn and wheat into usable products like meal and flour. The mill was also an important social center for early residents of eastern York County., Originally called "Little York," and later "Fort Hill," the name "Fort Mill" was finally settled upon in 1833, the latter half serving as a testament to the importance of the grist mill to residents of the community., Mayor , Danny Funderburk, Town Manager , David Hudspeth, Town Council , Tom Adams Ronald Helms Larry Huntley Kerry Mosher Guynn Savage Ken Starnes, Architect , LandDesign, Contractor , J.D.
