McConnells Historical Marker

This marker is located next to Town Hall and the post office of this small town that isn't much more than an intersection where three roads awkwardly meet US-321. There are a couple of gas station/convenience stores here and not much else.

The marker reads, "After the Kings Mountain Railroad was completed in 1852, the McConnellsville Post Office was established here in 1854. The town, named for the McConnell family, was incorporated in 1906. The first intendant was J.T. Crawford; wardens were J.F. Ashe, S.H. Love, J.O. Moore, and J.M. Williams. The post office was renamed McConnells in 1951."

It is marker number 46-13 and was erected in 1979 by the York County Historical Commission.
