Town of Clover
The town officially began around the site of a 5,000-gallon water tank constructed to serve the steam engines of the Chester and Lenoir Railroad Narrow Gauge Railroad.
​
According to a legend, excess water spilling on the ground caused patches of clover to spring up. Residents affectionately referred to the town as Clover Patch.
​
The Town was chartered on December 24, 1887. Clover became a booming textile community. Textiles continue to play a part of the community's economy. The town has since grown steadily, reaching a population of 5,094 in 2010.
