Located just a short 25 minutes from uptown Charlotte is the historic town of Mint Hill. This rural community of 19,000 residents is tucked into a corner of Mecklenburg and Union Counties, and blends in nicely with the surrounding countryside.
Mint Hill’s origins date back to the 1740’s at about the time that Scottish and Irish settlers arrived in the Charlotte area. There, too, was the strong influence of German colonists who arrived at about the same time. The town still has a strong Scottish influence, annual Highland Games Celebration, and is very proud of its historical heritage.
