History
The hamlet of Rock Hill was not named so until October 1885, after the Katrina Falls Road post office was erected on top of a high, rocky cliff. Rock Hill was formally part of Bridgeville.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, there has been a significant increase in demand for homes in the Catskills in general and Rock Hill in particular.
