Rock Hill Economic Development Corporation commissioned Audrey Flack in 1988 to sculpt the Civitas, which is Latin for “civic pride.” The Civitas was designed as a female version of Michelangelo’s “David”, The thought behind the design relates to the similarities between the cities of Rock Hill and Florence, Italy. At the time of the commission of “David”, Florence was a city of 45,000 people whose vibrant textile industry was slowly fading and the growth of their much larger neighbor Rome was affecting Florence’s growth. Rock Hill’s size and textile history paralleled Rome’s during the creation of both statues. The Civitas reflects the spirit of Rock Hill’s textile heritage in the clothing and hair, which suggest billowing ribbons of material. That material transforms into wings representing the fact that Rock Hill’s textile history provided the texture and foundation that gave the city wings to move forward.
Each Civitas holds a different circular emblems to signify four key themes of Rock Hill: Gears of Industry, Flame of Knowledge, Stars of Inspiration and Lightning Bolt of Energy
The Gateway intersection where the 4 Civitas statues stand is circular to symbolize unity, teamwork and togetherness. The columns that stand beside the Civitas were a gift to the city from First Union Corporation, and are regarded as one of the area’s most treasured historical artifacts. A gift to the City from First Union Corporation, they represent Rock Hill’s commitment to preserve and enhance the history of the area.
The logo of Rock Hill was developed in December 1992, with a great deal of focus spent on the philosophy behind the design. Each arrow represents the six themes on which city’s future was built: Business, Education, Historic Preservation, Gardens & Environment, Arts & Culture and Transportation & Utilities. The six arrows work toward a central focus and draw strength from their common direction and purpose. Each arrow, or theme, is strong in its own right, but gathers more strength by meeting the others and moving together toward a common goal, depicted by the middle star. The motion of the arrows symbolizes Rock Hill’s progressive nature.
