South Hill
South Hill is a
thriving, rapidly-growing community located in south-central
Virginia near the North Carolina state line halfway between
the state capitals of Richmond, Virginia and Raleigh, North
Carolina.
Since its beginning
as a railroad town in 1889, South Hill has continued to be
known for its ideal location. Today, the town is easily
accessible by a highway network consisting of Interstate 85,
U.S. Route 58, U.S. Route 1 and Highway 47. South Hill is
also only six miles away from the Mecklenburg-Brunswick Regional
Airport.
Incorporated in
1901, South Hill has always been known for its tobacco industry
and the town is presently the third largest market in Virginia.
But over the past few years a significant growth in manufacturing
and trade has diversified the town's economy. The town's
growth is enhanced by it's proximity to two nearby lakes,
Kerr Lake and Lake Gaston. With over 1,100 combined
miles of shoreline, tourist trade and a booming real estate
market serve to fuel our town's growth.
