is a town in York County, South Carolina, United States. The population was 4,014 at the 2000 census.
Clover is twinned with the Northern Irish town of Larne, located on the East Coast of County Antrim.
Clover was founded in the late 19th century, in the vicinity of an earlier settlement called New Centre that had waned at the time of the Civil War. The village of Clover began as a railway stop midway between York, South Carolina, and Gastonia, North Carolina. According to lore, the overflow of water from the railway's water tank fertilized a patch of clover, and the stop was called "the clover patch." The town of Clover was incorporated in 1887, and it later became the home of several cotton mills, many of which operated until after World War II.
