Blood, Trauma, and Biohazard Cleanup in Rock Hill, MO

Rock Hill, in St. Louis County, was founded by James Collier Marshall, who in 1845 helped establish a Presbyterian congregation there with the Rev. Artemus Bullard, meeting first in a log house on Marshall's property.

Marshall served as Rock Hill's first postmaster around 1845, operating the post office from the Fairfax House, which still stands and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In 1866, fifteen members of the Rock Hill Presbyterian congregation split off to found the Webster Groves Presbyterian Church in the neighboring city.

Rock Hill was incorporated as a village in April 1929 and then as a city in April 1947.

Rock Hill had 4,750 residents at the 2020 census, up slightly from 4,635 in 2010.

The entire city covers just 1.09 square miles, completely surrounded by the suburbs of Ladue, Brentwood, Webster Groves, Glendale, and Warson Woods.

At the 2010 census Rock Hill had 2,217 housing units for its 4,635 residents.
